Neurological Symposium

October 6, 2024

The McCourt Foundation’s Neurological Symposium

Thank you for joining us on October 6, 2024, for an educational update on the latest research into cures and treatments for neurological diseases! This FREE event welcomed patients, family members, caregivers, medical professionals, and anyone interested in learning more about these conditions affecting our loved ones.

The Neurological Symposium was held both virtually and in person at the Marriott Boston Quincy, located at 1000 Marriott Drive, Quincy, MA. It featured our world-renowned partner physicians and researchers from Mass General Hospital, Brigham & Women's Hospital, and Cedars-Sinai Hospital across three sessions, each including a 30-minute presentation followed by a one-hour Q&A. The sessions focused on Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and ALS.

While this event has passed, stay tuned for details on our next event, with the date to be announced soon! We hope to see you there.
