About this Event
Join us in-person or online for a discussion with Megan Connolly, FNP with Providence Brain and Spine Institute. If you live in the Portland metro area, we strongly encourage you to attend in person!
Megan will help you learn about DBS for Parkinson's Disease. She will explain when DBS is considered in your Parkinson's journey, who is a suitable candidate for DBS, and how DBS can make a difference in treating Parkinson's Disease. The Oregon Boston Scientific team will provide education on what makes Boston Scientific DBS unique and have DBS demonstratio devices available for you to get a "hands on" look. The talk will be rounded out with a guest client who has had DBS. This individual will share their experience with DBS and be able to answer your questions from the perspective of person with Parkinson's.
Our goal is to faciliate a hearty group discussion with plenty of time for Q&A.
We look forward to seeing you there!
