AN ARTFUL APPROACH TO
HELPING A WORTHY CAUSE
Don, an artist and retired art teacher from Sylvania, Ohio, lost his ability to paint because of an essential tremor. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) at The Ohio State University Medical Center restored that ability. A lifelong Buckeye, Don wanted to give back to Ohio State by using his painting to help raise funds for research. He'd like his story to help others.
