A Trusted Leader
For more than 25 years, Evergreen Commons has been a trusted guide for individuals and families living with Parkinson’s disease. What began in partnership with Holland Hospital has grown into a specialized, research-informed program that supports strength, mobility, confidence, and connection.
Today, our trained and certified staff lead eight class formats, 17 weekly exercise sessions, and a monthly support group, all designed to meet people where they are and help them move forward.
Backed by strong partnerships with healthcare, rehabilitation, and community organizations, Evergreen Commons offers both the expertise and compassionate support needed along the Parkinson’s journey.
