San Antonio, Texas

The AA&MDSIF has canceled the San Antonio conference, which had been scheduled for Saturday October 8, 2016, due to a low registration count.

The last AA&MDSIF Patient and Family Conference for 2016 will take place in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday November 6, 2016 (see details).
