Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is a progressive brain disease that mimics other diseases including PD and Alzheimer's Disease. Only 30-50% of LBD cases are accurately diagnosed even in dementia settings. With funding provided by the Turner Family Foundation through The Foundation For The Carolinas, PAC collaborates with the Alzheimer's Association Western Carolina Chapter to provide educational workshops and information about the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of LBD to patients, family members, caregivers and the medical community. 33372 There is a higher rate of people with PD in the South Carolina counties of Chester, Lancaster and York. With support from the local community, PAC initiated its Tri-County Project to identify people living with PD and to provide more concentrated services in these areas. The project coordinator works with patients, family members, and the medical community to provide educational opportunities and services. The lead funder for this program is the J. Marion Sims Foundations in Lancaster, S.C. 33785 PAC fulfills it mission as a resource center in the Carolinas by providing people with a number of ways to access information. To initiate a live conversation with a staff member, people can dial a toll-free number for information PD and ways to cope with this progressive neurological disease. Many of the callers are directed to support groups closest to their homes. It is through support groups where people gather the most information and where they can offer and receive support from others who understand firsthand about the challenges they face. PAC's monthly newsletter provides support group meeting information including location and time, current topic, and support group leader contact information. The newsletter also features articles about upcoming educational and awareness events and information about PD. PAC maintains a library of reading and audio-visual material available for members and for newly diagnosed patients and family members. The agency hosts educational symposiums to provide information about current research and treatment options and participates in community health fairs and awareness events throughout the year. 91840 158997 Nancy Williams PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Linda Hurlbert PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Dave Hall PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Jim Renegar PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Mark Leggett PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Don Olin PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Linda Morgan PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Ken King PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Ben Holland PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Mark A Hirsch PhD PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 John Crossland Jr PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Barbara Drum PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Laurie Crisalli PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Kevin Brockman PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Reza Bolouri PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Ray Gardner PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Andrea Allen PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 John Brady PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Betsy Baskwell PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Yogi Patel PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 2.00 0 Martha Fowler PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 40.00 55000 12907 false false false false false false 0 0 false false Martha Fowler PO Box 33053 Charlotte NC 28233 7042483714 false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE X 127121 197938 210091 158767 123499 817416 0 0 127121 197938 210091 158767 123499 817416 63799 753617 8281 14356 5744 4239 32620 0 0 850036 0.88660 0.88480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED
