September is recognized as Healthy Aging Month, a time to celebrate wellness, vitality, and resilience as we grow older. At the same time, we also honor the legacy of Dr. James Parkinson, whose groundbreaking work first described the disease that now bears his name.
While April is the official Parkinson’s Awareness Month, we believe the conversation shouldn’t be limited to one month. September is the perfect opportunity to shine a light on how healthy habits—especially movement—can benefit older adults, including those living with Parkinson’s.
🏃♀️ Movement is Medicine
One of the most powerful tools for both healthy aging and living well with Parkinson’s is staying active. Research shows that regular exercise supports balance, mobility, strength, and even mood. That’s why we’re excited to offer our Functional Fitness Class powered by SilverSneakers® and One Pass®, designed specifically for adults 65+ to build functional strength, improve mobility, and stay independent.
💡 How You Can Join the Movement
Learn: Explore resources on Parkinson’s and healthy aging.
Move: Join us for our wellness class—your body and mind will thank you. Classes are forming regularly, though availability may vary by location.
Share: Spread awareness with friends and family. Use this September to spark conversations about aging well and supporting those living with Parkinson’s.

✨ Healthy aging isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living better.
