Parivarthan for Parkinson’s Foundation, a Chennai-based support group for those suffering from Parkinson’s disease, will soon expand its operations to Coimbatore district to reach out to senior citizens with the disease, according to its founder Sudha Meiyappan.
The not-for-profit organisation founded in 2014 in Chennai has now over 250 members across the State. “Coimbatore seems to be the geriatric capital of South India,” she told The Hindu. As the organisation’s support group meetings has moved online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a few senior citizens from Coimbatore and Tiruppur districts have also joined apart from the members, Ms. Meiyappan said.
