Prompted by the 200-year anniversary since Parkinson’s disease was first described in 1817, the HYGEIA Hospital Parkinson’s & Movement Disorder Department along with the HYGEIA Hospital Neurodegenerative Brian Conditions Department & Memory Clinic are organizing an event for the general public on Saturday May 13, 2017. The event is entitled “200 Years of Parkinson’s Disease: Treatment in the Present and the Future” and it will be hosted at the Maroussi Town Hall.
Distinguished scientists will provide information to the public on modern treatment methods, focusing on the significance of a multidisciplinary approach to the multiple problems associated with the disease. This requires the involvement of physiatrists, physiotherapists, speech therapists and psychologists. The audience will further receive practical advice on everyday issues.
Information will also be provided on changes in the immediate future, while all the new treatment methods will be discussed.
