“Together with Medtronic, we’re creating robust educational materials to help people explore what DBS may offer and to keep them updated on the latest scientific progress.”

“Innovation can only make a difference if people know it exists. Our responsibility extends beyond pioneering breakthrough technologies to helping more people understand the therapies available to them. By combining Medtronic’s decades of DBS expertise and The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s trusted connection to the Parkinson’s community, we can help close a critical gap in therapy awareness.”

“Living with Parkinson’s has reminded me that no two days are alike. My experience with DBS the past five years has been meaningful; it’s helped me stay connected to things I love, like being active with my family and friends.”

“I know firsthand what technology like this can mean for someone living with Parkinson’s. But deciding whether DBS is right for you is a personal choice. People need clear information to understand what it may mean for them, weigh their options, and talk with their care team. I hope this initiative helps patients and families feel more prepared to have those conversations.”
