2019 Education Weekend with Dr. Glenn A. Cook Jr., M.D.
TDP is proud to have partnered with Largo Medical Center in presenting, renowned Autonomic Disorders Specialist, Dr. Glen Cook, who provided presentations for local doctors, patients and families.
On September 14, 2018, Dr. Cook presented a CME lecture on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to physicians, residents, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants at Largo Medical Center and presented to physicians at the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association Conference in Tampa the next morning. Dr. Cook then gave a rare two-hour presentation and Q & A session with patients at Largo Medical Center. Some traveled from as far away as Montana and Virginia to attend.
Both the CME lecture and patient education seminar were recorded and are available on The Dysautonomia Project's YouTube channel for access to all. You can access this through the link below.
Through your support, TDP can continue to connect leading specialists, doctors, and patients - giving hope through education.

WEDU Be More Awards 2018
On February 23, 2018, we had the opportunity to attend the WEDU Be More Awards ceremony to honor TDP board member Lisa Rooker, who was a finalist for the “Be More Involved/Mason Dixon Award for Volunteerism.” This award is bestowed upon the individual, family or group that has lent a unique voice to bring awareness, credence, support, or action to an issue or cause. TDP nominated Lisa for this prestigious award, and thanks to the votes of many community members, she was recognized as one of 6 finalists from many, many nonprofits throughout the entire Bay Area. While the award went to another nominee, the fact that Lisa was named a finalist out of approximately 25 original contestants is testimony to her amazing dedication to TDP and the patients who suffer.
