EDINBURG, Texas – DHR Health, in collaboration with Medtronic, will host a free community seminar to help community members learn about new and advanced treatment options for Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor. The seminar will take place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:45 a.m. at the Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance, located at 118 Paseo del Prado in Edinburg. Doors open at 9:50 a.m.
The seminar will be led by Dr. Juan Torres-Reveron, neurosurgeon at DHR Health, who will discuss how deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy is being used to help people better manage symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowed movement. He will also share information about the latest advancements in DBS technology, including the Percept™ DBS system with BrainSense™ technology, which allows doctors to better personalize treatment for each patient.
“For people living with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor, daily life can be unpredictable,” said Dr. Torres-Reveron. “This seminar is about giving our community education, hope, and a better understanding of the options that are available today. New technology is allowing us to tailor treatment in ways that may help patients maximize the time they feel their best.”
Deep brain stimulation therapy uses a small implanted device, similar to a pacemaker, to send gentle electrical signals to specific areas of the brain that control movement. This therapy may help reduce certain symptoms and improve quality of life, especially for patients who are no longer getting enough relief from medication alone.
The free seminar is open to community members who want to learn more for themselves or for a loved one. Registration is encouraged and can be completed by visiting http://tiny.cc/Feb282026.
