March 3, 2010 Support Group
Monthly Meeting
According to Dr. Holly Shill, the number of people with Parkinson’s disease in the United States is expected to double by the year 2030. Dr. Shill, a noted neurologist, said Parkinson’s is usually associated with older adults. However, she anticipates seeing a dramatic increase in the number of cases as Baby Boomers grow older. Shill will be the featured speaker at the March 3 meeting of the Fountain Hills Parkinson Support Group. The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Fountain Hills Community Center.
Dr. Shill is Director
of the Christopher Center for Parkinson’s Research at Sun Health Research
Institute and is staff Physician at Sun Health Neuroscience Associates Sun
City, Arizona. Holly Shill, MD,
grew up in Tempe, Arizona. She did
her undergraduate work in electrical engineering at University of Arizona in
Tucson, followed by four years of medical school there. She completed a
neurology residency at Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) in Phoenix.
Following that, she spent three years as a clinical fellow in the Human Motor
Control Section at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Shill spends
approximately 60% of her time in the clinic, managing patients with movement
disorders, and 40% of her time in research. Her research interests include risk
factors for the development and progression of Parkinson’s disease and
innovative treatments for Parkinson’s. She also studies pathogenesis of
Essential Tremor.
All meetings of the Fountain Hills PD support group are
open to anyone interested in learning more about Parkinson’s. For more information, call Mary Stone at
480-816-6080. There is no charge to attend any of the group’s meetings.

Our local PD support group has raised $3,600 in
pennies for our Pennies for Parkinsons - until there's a
cure fund drive. Every penny goes to the MAPC for
research. Not one penny comes out for administrative
costs. We have raised more than $3,600 in just one year
and a half!

meetings, scroll back to the top and go to our
Calendar page.
Meetings begin at 9:30 a.m. and are held in the
Fountain Hills Community Center. Meetings are open
to the public. There are no admission costs or fees.
