PDWELL Equipment and Technical Support Grant

Congratulations to the PDWELL: A Therapy, Wellness, and Resource Center!

Parkinson’s Nebraska is proud to award the PDWELL with a program grant! The grant will provide new equipment and technical support to the PDWELL online Parkinson’s programs. The equipment, including a sound mixer, wireless headphones/microphones, and more, will increase the quality of live and recorded online exercise and speech programs.

Earlier this year, Parkinson’s Nebraska provided PDWELL with a grant for equipment and technical assistance for a pilot online support group program. Just weeks after the grant announcement, Covid-19 caused programs to close their doors to in-person classes. Little did we know how impactful the technology equipment would become as programs were transitioned online!

Now that online programming is the “new norm” and will be here to stay, we are excited to provide PDWELL with additional equipment to continue providing and improving critical online services. Special microphones and headphones will help eliminate background noise and integrate music during movement classes. They also allow for higher voice quality for the teacher, including their tone and volume level, which benefits speech classes.

Thank you so much to Cheri and the team at PDWELL for working so quickly to transition programs online so people with Parkinson’s still had access to the services they need from home. We are grateful to call PDWELL a partner on our journey!

PDWELL is a leader in online programming in Nebraska. They offer a variety of virtual Parkinson’s programs such as:
