Cirrhosis Patient Education Lecture Series
In 2008, the University of Minnesota began the cirrhosis patient education lecture series for the 529 active patients with cirrhosis. Patients of the University of Minnesota as well as patients from area health systems and families are invited to attend. The quarterly evening sessions include a 30 minute casual presentation from a topic expert, a half an hour for patient questions, and a half an hour for open discussion on any topics as well as an opportunity to provide ideas and input into the liver programs and services at the University of Minnesota. We hope you can join us.
The meeting will be on the third Tuesday evening in January, April, June, July, and October from 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. The lectures will be held on the 3rd floor of the VFW building. (V372 VFW)
