The Region's First Focused Ultrasound Treatment

Submitted by News Team on

As the region's only health care system to offer focused ultrasound, neurosurgeon Dr. Mark Witcher and team celebrate following the first procedure on Friday at CRMH. Focused ultrasound is an incisionless treatment for essential tremor and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease for patients who have not responded to medication. Congratulations to the team for this amazing accomplishment!
