Presented by The MDS Foundation

Crown Point, IN - September 26 / 9 am - 2pm

Attending a Patient and Family Forum

Many Patients and Caregivers have never met another person diagnosed with MDS until they have connected with them at one of our educational forums. If you have never attended one, you won't want to miss this opportunity to meet others and to learn more about MDS, current treatments, and emerging therapies from leading experts. Not only will you find answers, support, and hope for MDS, but you will learn tips and strategies for patients and caregivers living with MDS.
