Parkinson’s Assistance Through Healing

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

​The PATH program at the Joan & Alan Bernikow JCC of Staten Island 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.
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.

Supporting Caregivers

​The best way you can be there for your loved one with Parkinson’s is to make sure you take care of yourself too. In addition to our programs for those with Parkinson’s, we offer programs that support caregivers as well, including support groups and individual respite. We may also be able to provide supplemental supplies and assistive devices in some cases.
