Dear friends,
I hope all is well, and you are coping with the unfortunate surge in COVID19 cases.
Since 2007 we have been organizing a patient and family conference every 2-3 years. As we have done last year, this conference will run virtually. As you know, in these conferences, educational sessions to the patients/families were provided, new scientific knowledge was disseminated, and the challenges and future directions in the field and in the Marrow Failure and Myelodysplasia Program were discussed. The meetings also increases the collaboration between the support groups and the awareness of the patients to the existence of support groups and other services in the country. Last year’s virtual conference saw 150 participants mainly from across Canada and even some from abroad, and the speakers were clinicians, scientists, trainees, patients and family members, nurses, genetic counselors, and transition experts.
The next conference is scheduled for Saturday April 30th, 2022 running from 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM EST. We invite all of you to attend the conference virtually. This coming conference will focus on MDS/leukemia and solid tumors in patients with bone marrow failure syndromes. You can register using the following link https://cvent.me/kkd3Yo.
Also, we would like to encourage participation of patients and families from all over the country. If it is okay with you, we have attached the conference flyer and preliminary agenda to circulate to your patients/families with aplastic anemia, MDS and inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. They can use the event website listed on both the flyer and agenda.
If you have any questions please let me know.
I am looking forward to seeing you all at the conference.
Yigal
