NORD to Hold 18 PNH Patient and Family Meetings in 2015

The National Organization for Rare Disorders (*) will hold 18 free one-day meetings for PNH patients and their families in 2015.

Patients, caregivers, and families affected by PNH are invited to participate. You'll meet other patients and speak with a medical expert. You can come together in a small group and gain the encouragement and hope that comes from meeting face-to-face with other PNH patients. Everyone will be able to share personal experiences with each other, gain a better understanding of this rare disease, and help others cope with the effects of their illness.

Breakfast and lunch are included. Two-day meetings have a buffet reception the night before.

All patients will receive a $75.00 travel stipend and one night hotel accommodations.

To RSVP for any meeting or for more information, contact Ms. Susan Olivo at NORD.


Friday agenda (two-day meetings only)
  • Buffet reception, 7:00 to 9:00pm

Saturday agenda (all meetings, from 8:30am or 9:00am to 3:00pm or 4:00pm)
  • Welcome & Introduction

  • Support Meeting with PNH Expert

  • Lunch

  • PNH Research & Support Foundation

  • Breakout Sessions

  • Closing Remarks

See the next post for the list of cities and dates. See also the NORD Regional Patient Meetings page.


If you plan to attend one of these meetings, post in this thread to let other attendees know to look for you!

After the meeting, let us know what you thought of the event.
