As a person living with Parkinson’s disease, I’m grateful for recent improvements in the treatment of PD, and thankful for the new medications and care plans. The Parkinson’s Association of Northern California will present a seminar on Oct. 26, explaining some of these evolving strategies.

The event, titled “Living Well with Parkinson’s,” will feature talks by three neurologists, all of whom are movement disorder specialists:

* Suketu Khandhar, M.D., Kaiser Neuroscience Center, “The psychological effects of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease”;

* Marta San Luciano, M.D., UC San Francisco Medical Center, “DBS surgery and other surgical ways to treat Parkinson’s disease”; and

* Nicklesh Thakur, M.D., Sutter Neuroscience Medical Group, “What’s new in Parkinson’s treatments and research.”

The meeting will take place on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Lions Gate Hotel, 3410 Westover St., in the McClellan Park area of Sacramento, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The $15-per-person admission includes lunch. A demonstration by members of the Parkinson’s dance classes of Davis and Sacramento will be presented during the lunch break.

To register, call 916-534-7279, or send a check with the names of the attendees to PANC at 7840 Madison Ave., Suite 107, Fair Oaks, CA 95628.
