PATH Program

Parkinson’s Assistance Through Healing

​The PATH program at the Staten Island JCC is designed to empower individuals with Parkinson’s disease by helping them navigate new challenges with strength, resilience, and hope. Rather than viewing these challenges as insurmountable obstacles, PATH reframes them as manageable bumps in the road to renewed vitality and independence.

How Does the PATH Program Help Patients with Parkinson’s?

Through specialized classes led by certified, experienced instructors, participants work to build strength, improve mobility, and reduce discomfort associated with Parkinson’s disease. Our supportive community-centered environment encourages both physical improvement and emotional well-being by fostering connections with others on a similar journey.


PATH Program Offerings Include:

  • Aqua Aerobics

  • Yoga

  • Kickboxing

  • Balance and Core Training

  • Tai Chi

  • Support Groups

Each offering is tailored to address the unique needs of those living with Parkinson’s, promoting physical health while supporting mental and emotional wellness.
