Joint Essential Tremor Support Group, June 6, 2015

Essential Tremor (ET) affects 7 million Americans. It is often confused with Parkinson’s disease. If you, a family member, or a friend have ET, you are invited to attend a free meeting sponsored by HopeNET, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization.

This joint meeting of all the HopeNET support groups in Virginia & Maryland will be held on June 6 from 10am until noon at Holy Cross Hospital, 1500 Forest Glen Rd., Silver Spring, Md. 20910.

Our guest speaker will be Dr. Stan Anderson, a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital. His presentation will be on Essential Tremor & the circuitry of the brain and will occur less than a month after the conference at NIH on Essential Tremor in which this topic of ET & the brain circuitry will be one of the primary discussion points.

Information about HopeNET may be found at www.theHopeNET.org. You will need to register for this. To do so, please call Peter Muller at 703-543-8131 or one of the contact people at each group – Doris Mapes, Lisa Gannon, Mary Thomas, Barbara McCarthy or Prudy Bradley
