Parkinson's Disease: Practical Management and Popular Questions
Wednesday, October 11, 1:00-2:00 pm
OPEN TO ALL!
Parkinson’s disease is the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. The risk of developing Parkinson’s naturally increases with age, and the average age at which it starts is 60 years old. The condition isn't curable, but there are breakthrough innovations in treatment and many treatment options. Join featured speaker, Aviva Ellenstein, MD, PhD, a neurologist at the Washington Brain and Spine Institute as we learn about:
- the new definition and diagnostic criteria of the disease
- recent advancements in treatment
- how a multi-disciplinary approach has proven successful
- the latest in non-surgical interventions
This program is sponsored by Suburban Hospital, in partnership with Little Falls Village and Friendship Heights Neighbors Network. Click the links to learn more about each village and the Village Ambassador Alliance.
