PARKINSON’S POINTERS “The Value of Multidisciplinary Care in Parkinson’s Disease” A free, livestream event followed by a question-and-answer session
Presented by Zoltan Mari, MD, director of the Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Program and The Ruvo Family Chair, Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health
Thursday, June 6 • 6:30-8 p.m. check-in & Hors d’oeuvres • 6 p.m. Brooke Grove Rehabilitation and Nursing Center 18131 Slade School Road • Sandy Spring, MD 20860
The complexity and diverse nature of Parkinson’s means that no one pill or physician can effectively deal with the myriad of problems it presents. An alliance of specialists and subspecialists are needed to collaborate and effectively tackle each and every symptom and challenge experienced by patients. During this seminar, Dr. Mari will discuss the benefits, current models and future of multidisciplinary care. www.bgf.org For information or to register, contact Toni Davis, 301-388-7209 or [email protected], by June 4.
