The Parkinson's Resource Organization (PRO) is moving to a new office space this summer, marking a significant expansion of its ability to serve the Parkinson's community with free support groups, educational resources, and compassionate connection. Beginning August 1, 2026, PRO will operate from the Berger Foundation Building in the Coachella Valley, a shared nonprofit hub designed to amplify community impact.

Why Is PRO Relocating and What Does It Mean for Patients?

The move represents more than just a change of address. PRO's decision to relocate is deeply rooted in its core mission: ensuring that no one living with Parkinson's feels isolated because of their diagnosis. While the transition itself requires significant upfront investment, the new location will ultimately save money in the long run and provide better accessibility for the people PRO serves.

Parkinson's disease affects movement, causing symptoms like tremor, rigidity, and slowness of movement. Many people diagnosed with Parkinson's struggle with isolation and lack of access to reliable information and peer support. PRO addresses this gap by offering free programs and trusted resources specifically designed for the Parkinson's community. The new facility will enhance PRO's capacity to expand these critical services.

What Improvements Will the New Space Offer?

The Berger Foundation Building provides several practical advantages that will make it easier for people with Parkinson's to access support. The new location features plentiful parking, elevator access, and a welcoming, professional setting. Office hours will remain consistent, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, ensuring reliable access for community members.

Beyond physical accessibility, the building itself represents a shift in PRO's community positioning. The Berger Foundation Building is known as a hub for nonprofit organizations working to improve lives throughout the Coachella Valley. By joining this collaborative environment, PRO will be part of a larger ecosystem of organizations united by a shared spirit of service and community impact.

How to Support PRO During This Transition

• Financial Contributions: Donations made through www.parkinsonsresource.org/move directly support the costs of moving, equipment replacement, technology setup, and facility improvements needed to make the new space fully functional for staff and constituents.
• Timing Your Support: The transition period during July 2026 will pause all PRO programming, including support groups and special events, as the team focuses on settling into the new office. Contributions during this time help bridge the gap between the old and new locations.
• Long-Term Engagement: Beyond financial gifts, community members can stay involved by attending support groups and events once programming resumes in the new space, helping to build momentum for PRO's expanded mission.

The costs associated with this move are substantial. Moving expenses, equipment replacement, technology infrastructure, and tenant improvements to make the space fully functional represent a significant financial commitment. However, PRO leadership views this investment as essential to fulfilling its mission of providing free programs, trusted resources, educational support, and compassionate connection to people living with Parkinson's.

For the Parkinson's community in the Coachella Valley and beyond, this relocation signals PRO's commitment to growth and accessibility. As the organization settles into its new home, it will be positioned to serve more people, offer expanded programming, and continue its vital work ensuring that isolation is never part of a Parkinson's diagnosis.
