TAYLOR/DOWNRIVER 
HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE SUPPORT GROUP

Our support group meets the first Tuesday of each month from 7:00pm to 9:00 pm at American House to share their experiences, strengths and hopes in order to solve everyday problems  as caregivers and as ones with HD.  We want to let you know that you are not alone in coping with HD. We welcome you if you have questions about HD, want to share your views, or just come to listen and learn. A time for discussion follows each meeting.  Refreshments available anytime.
