Recognizing Symptoms, Exploring Treatment, and the Latest Advances

Community lecture presented by Rudy Rahme, MD, FAANS

Join Dr. Rudy Rahme, board-certified vascular neurosurgeon with advanced fellowship training in cerebrovascular, endovascular and skull base Interventions. Learn how vascular disease can affect memory and thinking, and how advances in treatment are improving recovery. Dr. Rahme will also provide insight into innovative therapies that use targeted nerve stimulation to influence how the brain and body respond to injury, rehabilitation, and inflammation. 

Discussion topics will include: 

• How vascular disease can affect memory, thinking and independence 
• Stroke warning signs that should never be ignored 
• Why stroke recovery can continue months or even years later 
• How the brain can relearn movement after injury 
• How nerve stimulation is being explored to help control inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis 
• Practical steps people can take to protect long-term brain health

AtlantiCare, in partnership with Global Neurosciences Institute, is building a more connected neuroscience program for South Jersey. The Neurosciences Institute brings together expertise in neurology, neurosurgery, stroke, spine care, rehabilitation and recovery - helping patients access advanced, coordinated care closer to home.

A light meal and refreshments will be provided. Space is limited, reserve your seat today!
