Ask the Neurologist Series Part II
Join us at The Kensington Reston for our Ask the Neurologist Series, a three-part educational series featuring experienced neurologists from Inova Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center and MedStar Health.
In this second session, attendees will have the opportunity to gain insight into movement disorders. Dr Lawler will share clinical and treatment information on Dysautonomia, an umbrella term for a group of medical conditions caused by a malfunction of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) that affects over 70 million people worldwide.
The series will continue with additional expert neurologists throughout the fall:
- November 4th: Dr. Lawler | IPMDC
- December 2nd: Dr. Yaghi & Dr. Pagan | MedStar Health
Each session offers a chance to learn from specialists, ask questions, and gain valuable information in a comfortable and approachable setting.
For questions, please reach out to Kristine Llanes, Director of Community Outreach, at kllanes@kensingtonsl.com.
