Brain Institute Events - Partnering with Our Community
As a provider of diagnosis and treatment for a broad range of neurological conditions, Providence Brain Institute is proud to partner with national and local organizations that support patients and their families. These organizations provide important services, equipment, education and support programs, often at little or no cost to the patients.
We salute these organizations for their work. Please join us as we help them raise awareness and much-needed funds to support patients, research new treatments and fight to end disease.
Providence Brain Institute is pleased to support the following events. We invite you to participate in any way you can.
The next lecture in this ongoing series is "Coping with Depression in Parkinson's Disease." It will be presented by psychologist Paul Conti, M.D., and all are invited to attend.
