A huge thanks to all the caregivers who provide endless compassion, patience, strength, and support to those in need each and every day.

Whether you are caring for a loved one at home, supporting patients professionally, or simply being there through difficult moments — your dedication does not go unnoticed.

Caregiving is more than a responsibility; it is an act of love, kindness, and selflessness. Thank you for the comfort you provide, the sacrifices you make, and the difference you create in so many lives.

To all caregivers: we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you. 💐

🧠 Neurology Fun Facts! 🧠

Did you know?

✨ Your brain contains about 86 billion neurons!
✨ Nerve signals can travel up to 270 miles per hour.
✨ The brain itself cannot feel pain — which is why brain surgery can sometimes be performed while a patient is awake!
✨ Your brain uses about 20% of your body’s oxygen and energy.
✨ No two brains are exactly alike — every brain is uniquely wired!

🧠 June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month 💜

This month, we recognize the millions of individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It’s also a reminder to prioritize brain health, support ongoing research, and spread awareness about the importance of early recognition and compassionate care.

Alzheimer’s impacts memory, thinking, and daily life — but behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, and a community navigating the journey together.

You can help make a difference by:
✔️ Learning the warning signs
✔️ Supporting caregivers
✔️ Encouraging healthy brain habits
✔️ Advocating for research and awareness

Together, we can help bring hope, understanding, and support to those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

Testing for Alzheimer's or other dementias is critical if you notice signs like memory loss Get information on diagnosis, treatment and getting help.

📣 Physician Announcement:

To all,

After 20 years, I will be leaving Abington Neurological Associates to start a new chapter.

I am thankful that you trusted me to care for you or your loved ones. I am especially grateful to those who helped or participated in clinical trials. We are now living in a better world thanks to these advances. Several of these trials came to fruition and are now helping people with Alzheimer's disease, strokes, and multiple sclerosis. I'm happy for those I helped.

My leave will be effective November 30, 2026. I am confident that your care will continue seamlessly with my colleagues. They, and I, are committed to providing continuity and make this transition as smooth as possible. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to call the office at 215-957-9250.

Best,
Dr. David Weisman

📣 Update on Pennsylvania Driving Guidelines for Patients with Seizures:

We want to share an important update regarding Pennsylvania driving regulations for individuals with seizure disorders.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has recently updated its guidelines, reducing the required seizure-free period before resuming driving from 6 months to 3 months.

What this means for you:

* Patients may be eligible to resume driving after being seizure-free for at least 3 months, with or without medication.

* Your treating provider must confirm that it is safe for you to return to driving.

* In some cases, your provider may recommend a longer restriction period if there are concerns about safety.

* Certain situations may qualify for exceptions based on your specific seizure pattern or medical history.

This change reflects current medical evidence and allows for a more individualized approach to driving safety, rather than a one-size-fits-all requirement.

If you have experienced a recent seizure or have questions about your ability to drive, please contact our office to discuss your specific situation. Your safety—and the safety of others—is our top priority.
