Curious about the latest resources, medical advances, and wellness options available to people living with myasthenia gravis? Join us at a Community Health Fair!
These free events can help you and your loved ones navigate MG. Hear from and talk with medical professionals, access educational and wellness resources, and meet others in the MG Community. Connect with each other, share stories and guidance, and learn more about managing this disease.
Each event includes educational presentations by MG experts, time to network and get to know others in the MG Community, and a chance to visit exhibitors.
Learn from experts about treatment options and strategies for managing MG, ask support group leaders your questions, connect with local businesses that specialize in patient and caregiver needs, and connect with others who know what you’re going through.
Your support network of family and friends is welcome, including children. Please register each attendee individually.
We look forward to seeing you at a fair in your area! If you have questions, feel free to contact the volunteer leads for each event or email Tasha Duncan.
