A brain tumor diagnosis is overwhelming, and many people immediately think of open skull surgery.
But treatment has advanced significantly, and not every tumor requires the same approach. In some cases, less invasive options may be available. Learn more: mayocl.in/492iNEg

@missionbrainorg
We don’t just care for the brain—we care for the world it lives in.
Today is a reminder that health goes beyond the operating room. It’s in the air we breathe, the environments we grow up in, and the communities we build.
A healthier planet means healthier people.

World Parkinson’s Day.
There’s no cure - but there are ways to fight back.
Programs like Rock Steady Boxing use intense movement to help improve balance, mobility, and quality of life.
It’s not reversing the disease - but it’s helping people take back control.
Worth sharing.

Ever wondered what a neurosurgeon’s day looks like — beyond the operating room?
In this edition of our 'Day in the Life' series, we’re putting Dr. Ian Parney in the hot seat with questions about his routine, passions, and what drives him both inside and outside of work!
