Ascension St. Vincent hosting free educational webinar on Advanced Treatments for Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease

For individuals living with essential tremor or Parkinson’s disease, navigating medical treatment options can feel overwhelming. To help patients, caregivers, and families better understand care options, neurosurgeon Mark Hoeprich, MD, will host a free, interactive educational webinar at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 2.

The online event will provide a comprehensive overview of advancements in neurological care. Dr. Hoeprich will discuss traditional medication management as well as advanced surgical and non-invasive interventions when clinically appropriate, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and focused ultrasound therapy.

During this session, attendees will:

  • Review current treatment options: Explore therapies for essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease, ranging from standard medications to clinically appropriate advanced procedures.
  • Understand patient candidacy: Learn about clinical criteria for different therapies, with a focus on who may qualify for focused ultrasound.
  • Walk through the care experience: Learn what patients can expect on the day of treatment.
  • Participate in a live Q&A: Ask questions and receive guidance directly from Dr. Hoeprich.

Patients seeking alternatives to traditional surgery or experiencing diminishing returns from medication often ask whether they may be candidates for focused ultrasound. This webinar is designed to explain these advanced therapies and empower patients to make informed decisions about their neurological care and well-being.

The webinar is free and open to the public. Advance registration is required.
