History:
The Comal County Parkinson's Support Group (2010) and Lone Star Parkinson Society (LSPS) (2013) was founded by Tommy Dubuque, a Person with Parkinson's (PWP) and his beautiful bride Peggy. LSPS is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, serving Comal and surrounding counties with support group meetings, exercise programs and home health care (provided by Visiting Angels).
Purpose:
The purpose of LSPS is to support the Parkinson Group(s) that are affiliated with LSPS and to promote the development and awareness of Parkinson's Disease that will promote understanding and ease the burden on People with Parkinson's (PwP) and their caregivers in battling this disease.
Our Founder Tommy Dubuque (1949-2022) and his beautiful bride Peggy. Tommy you were greatly loved and will be dearly missed. We will pick up the torch and continue to carry on your legacy!
Mission:
To provide education, information, support services and programs to help improve the quality of life for people with Parkinson's and their families, loved ones and supporters and to enhance public understanding of the challenges faced by those affected.
We meet this commitment by maintaining a website with a wealth of links to information and resources regarding Parkinson’s; publishing a monthly newsletter; conducting monthly meetings for members and caregivers; providing exercise programs as well as home health services.
However, maintaining these programs is not without costs. You can help LSPS provide these services by donating, memorials and volunteering.
Make a donation online through our website (see Support LSPS Tab), at monthly meetings, or by mail.
