John Baumann
Tapping into Your
Inner Strength to Have
an Amazing Life with
Parkinsons
John was a successful attorney,
a member of the University of
Louisville faculty, and a semiprofessional softball player before Parkinsons disease
forced him to give up these activities that, in his late
30s, he thought defined him as a person. Now, as a
critically acclaimed author, internationally recognized
speaker and successful workshop facilitator, John
considers himself Positively Unshakeable. His
message is simple, yet powerful: there are always things
that you can do to have the best life possible if you
reach deep down inside yourself and tap into your life
force no matter what the challenge or adversity.
Symposium attendance is $25 per person and includes a light breakfast and valet parking.
Pre-registration is required by February 1. Register online at https://donate.hopehcs.org/

April is National Parkinson Awareness month. Join us to help raise awareness and support our
local Parkinson Community during a one- to three-mile walk at 7330 Gladiolus Drive in Fort
Myers. $25 registration includes t-shirt and refreshments. Sponsorships are welcome. Register
online at donate.hopehcs.org/Walk4Hope, or call 239-985-7727 for more information.
Tai Chi balance classes are great for those with PD! Learning and
practicing a set of simple, continuous, rhythmic and functional Tai
Chi movements can help participants lower their fall risk, help their
balance and improve the performance of daily functional activities.
Hopes five-week program focuses on adaptation and integration
of motor-sensory systems, gait, lower extremity muscle strength,
walking ability and coordination, fear of falling and incidence of falls.
Our program is based on an evidenced-based falls prevention
program developed by the Oregon Research Institute and is
recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, the National
Council on Aging and the Administration on Aging.
Tai Chi is FREE for those with PD, along with their care partners.
Pre-registration is required by calling 239-985-7727.

There are two internationally recognized speech therapy treatment programs for people with Parkinsons
disease: LSVT LOUD and SPEAK OUT! Parkinson Voice Project.
It is estimated that 89% of individuals with Parkinsons will experience speech and voice disorders.
However, only 3 to 4% of people with PD receive speech treatment. Speech therapy increases vocal
loudness by stimulating the muscles of the votive box (larynx) and speech mechanism through a
systematic hierarchy of exercises.
Lee Silverman Voice Training (LSVT) focuses on a single goal: speak LOUD. LSVT LOUD uses loudness
training to maximize speech intelligibility and to bring the voice to an improved, healthy vocal loudness
with no strain.
Based on the teachings of Dr. Daniel R. Boone, the SPEAK OUT! program focuses on teaching the patient
to speak with intent and deliberation. Together, the patient and their speech language pathologist work
their way through a series of speech, voice and cognitive exercises outlined in a comprehensive workbook.
For more information about where these treatment programs are administered through Lee Memorial
Health System, please call Mary Jo Haughey, MS, CCC-SLP, at 239-343-4962.
