Moving Forward and 'Feeling Whole Again'

Healthy Partners, Summer 2019

When Melanie Smith was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease while still only in her 30s, she was understandably shocked by the news. “I was very much in denial,” says the now 43-year-old St. Simons Island resident. “Accepting such an unexpected and life-altering diagnosis was a battle for me.”

Gradually, the disease began to affect her balance, walking and ability to carry out daily tasks — like brushing her hair or opening a car door. In 2019, Ms. Smith could no longer endure the increased severity of her symptoms. Determined to become as healthy as possible for herself and her young son, she turned to the experienced, licensed therapists at the Southeast Georgia Health System Outpatient Rehabilitation Care Center.
