This webinar provides an in-depth look at what DBS involves, how it works, and who may benefit from the procedure. Participants will hear from medical experts and individuals who have undergone DBS, learning about the preparation, procedure, and potential outcomes.

This program is designed to empower individuals and families with the knowledge to make informed decisions about this treatment option for Parkinson’s.
