If you are like a lot of people, when you hear the words Parkinson’s Disease you are likely to think of someone who has shaking arms and/or hands or other involuntary bodily movements. That is usually just the tip of the iceberg for people who have this disease. The Parkinson’s Association of Santa Barbara and the Ventura Parkinson’s Disease Support Group are pleased to announce a joint meeting with a presentation by Neal S. Hermanowicz MD on Tuesday March 12th from 2:15PM to 3:30PM at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, 4575 Auhay at Arroyo, Santa Barbara. We invite you to take this opportunity to hear Dr. Hermanowicz talk about the many facets of Parkinson’s Disease and his clinical and trial experiences treating this very individualized disease.

He is a Professor of Neurology, and Director of the UC Irvine Program for Parkinson’s Disease & Movement Disorders.
