SPONSORS & EXHIBITORS
The Plummer Movement Disorders Center’s
(PMDC) 5th Annual Community Parkinson’s Disease
Symposium will allow our National Parkinson
Foundation (NPF) Center an opportunity to
reach out and educate Central Texans about coping
with PD .
Dr. Joohi Shahed, movement disorders specialist
and PMDC co-director, will provide tools for
Medical Management. Dr. Jacqueline Phillips,
the Center’s Neuropsychologist, will tell us how
a surgical tool, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS),
can help some with PD and other movement disorders.
Our guest speakers this year will
enlighten us on music and humor as essential
tools in our box. They are Maestro David
Dworkin, developer of Conductorcise, an exercise
program to symphony music, and John Brissette,
who deals with his Parkinson’s Disease with
humor, and has written a book, “What’s
Shakin.” And of course our Interdisciplinary
Team of highly qualified therapists will provide
more tools to improve quality of life.
Attendees will be offered refreshments, lunch,
and an afternoon snack at no charge.
