July 22, 2024 – Established by the World Federation of Neurology in 2014, July 22 is the 10th annual World Brain Day. The goal of the observance day is to raise critical awareness to prevent brain disease in all corners of the globe.
The brain is one of the most fascinating organs in the human body. It houses all your memories, it’s where your personality spouts from, and is responsible for every movement, thought and decision. When you experience an issue such as a stroke, head injury or a central nervous system disease, your whole being can be jeopardized.
The Palm Beach Health Network provides advanced, compassionate care for patients affected by movement or memory disorders, as well as strokes or conditions like multiple sclerosis and plans customized treatment solutions for those with long-term health conditions.
Dr. Arif Dalvi MD, MBA, Director of the Comprehensive Movement Disorders Program at Palm Beach Neuroscience Institute and Director of the St. Mary’s Medical Center Memory Disorders Center says, “Movement and memory disorders challenge not just individuals, but entire families, let’s unite in our efforts to raise awareness and support advancements in neurological care. Our brains are marvels of complexity, yet vulnerable to disorders that can affect memory and movement. On World Brain Day, let’s advocate for early diagnosis, innovative treatments, and compassionate care.”
