A comprehensive Parkinson’s Center
for the highest level of clinical care, and for every day in between.

Hi Everybody,

We still have seats available for our conference next week, and we would love for you to join us! 

The number of people diagnosed and living with Parkinson's is increasing, and we're hearing that you're seeing this, too. I'm often asked if we can meet for coffee or lunch to learn about what our center offers and discuss how we can work together, but it's become more difficult as we care for more people.

This conference is a unique opportunity for you to hear from both Dr. Falconer and Dr. Pauldurai to learn how we can work together, and provide the best care for families in our Parkinson community. We partner with Heather Suri for our professional educational programs and you'll hear from her as well. In addition, there are new treatments that have become available in the past couple of years and company representatives will be there to talk with you. 

CEUs will be available through the Virginia Nurses Association (VNA) and National Academy of Certified Care Managers (NACCM).

Cost is $45 and includes a buffet lunch. 

For more details, and to register, please visit ipmdc.org/2026hcpro.

i need to submit final numbers for catering tomorrow, so if you can register today, or let me know if you'll be coming (sonia.gow@inova.org) I'd really appreciate it. And we hope to see you there!!
