Visit Us at the AA&MDSIF 2009 Patient & Family Conference

A special informational session featuring Marrowforums will be held as part of the Online Learning Lab during the AA&MDSIF 2009 Patient & Family Conference. Site administrators, Neil and Ruth Cuadra, will be on hand to help you get started or learn more about how Marrowforums can help you in dealing with bone marrow failure diseases.

The Online Learning Lab, which will be open Friday, July 10 from 2-5pm and Saturday, July 11 from 11am-3:45pm, consists of series of short sessions on using the Internet to find information and connect with other patients and their families. Marrowforums will be featured during these times:
  • Friday from 5pm-6pm
  • Saturday from 1:30pm-2:30pm
We hope that Marrowforums members who are at the Conference will stop by to say hello. New members are always welcome, so if you meet someone who doesn't yet know about Marrowforums, bring them along to the Online Learning Lab.

Those attending the conference are welcome to post in our Who's going to the 2009 Patient Conference? thread so we'll know who to look for!

Conference

I just wanted to add my recommendation of this conference. I went last year and learned a great deal about my aplastic anemia. The presentations by leaders in the field gave me a lot of hope.
