Did you know that 1 million people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease? PD slows and/or stops the production of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine controls motor function, which is why PD is called a movement disorder. Although there is no cure for PD, yet - there are medications and therapies that can help slow the progression and manage symptoms.

Did you know that occupational therapy dates back to 100 B.C.? Since then, OT has come a long way in helping patients perform their daily activities with more ease and less pain. Occupational Therapy Month (April) was implemented as a way to recognize the successes of OT patients and OT practitioners at Benedictine and around the world. Keep up the awesome work!

A prayer for the Feast of St. Benedict:
God of all creation, the earth, the sky, and all they contain are your beautiful and sacred gifts! Inspired by St. Benedict, we are called to live attentively, aware that what your hand has given, we must use wisely and share generously. Fill us with gratitude and reverence, so that living moderately and mindfully, we may be wise stewards of your creation. Amen.
