SAN DIEGO–Palomar Health is giving the community an opportunity to talk to doctors about brain health at the “Dine with the Docs: Focus on Brain Health” program on March 26 at Vintana in Escondido.
The 5 to 8:30 p.m. program is part of an ongoing series providing men and women with an open forum to discuss some of today’s most pressing health issues with physicians and other medical experts. Palomar Health’s Carol LeBeau will host the event.
“Each day, we are powered by the most extraordinary and complex creation in the universe – the human brain,” says LeBeau. “It orchestrates our ability to have purpose, passion, motion and emotion – but what do we really know about keeping it healthy? This evening is designed to provide a closer look at common brain health issues including headaches and migraines, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, stroke and even sleep disorders.
The panel of Palomar Health physician speakers includes Neurologists Benjamin Frishberg, M.D. (headaches/migraines); Gilbert Ho, M.D. (Alzheimer’s/dementia); Michael Zupancic, M.D. (sleep disorders) and Neurosurgeon Andrew Nguyen, M.D. (stroke). In addition to the physician-led presentations, guests will enjoy a “Brain Break” with brain fitness author Debbi Harper and may take advantage of free blood pressure, blood glucose, body composition and stroke risk assessment screenings.
The cost to attend is $40 per person which includes a healthy dinner, featured speakers, health screenings and more.
