What:
The purpose of the support group is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for asking questions and to learn. Learning can occur from hearing other people discuss their disease and how they have adapted, from the medical staff members, and from the variety of guest speakers. Topics range from insurance and finances to nutrition to therapies to equipment. The group is an informal gathering and new faces are welcomed.
