VVN Parkinson's Awareness Symposium

Recent advancements such as gene therapy, new drug trials, FDA approvals of innovative
treatment devices, and stem cell therapy offer a glimpse of hope in the battle against PD.

This symposium has been created to spread awareness and present the progress made in the
Parkinson’s field and to open communication between the VA and the various agencies involved.

Each group will have a 4 minute presentation to describe who they are, what they do, any
accomplishments reached, as well as any data collected from within the veteran's community.
A community Q&A will follow.

Experts attending from Parkinson's Foundation, The Michael J Fox Foundation, Boston Scientific, St. Elizabeth's Medical Center, Mass General Hospital, Medtronic, and 110 Fitness.
