Patient & Family Meetings
Patient and Family Meetings are free, half-day virtual meetings designed for brain tumor patients, caregivers and their loved ones to gain in-depth knowledge on a brain tumor topic.
These virtual meetings provide an educational experience that allow attendees to hear from experts in the field who will guide attendees through a series of discussions related to tumor type, treatment, research and care, while engaging attendees through Q&A.
Estos eventos tendrán subtítulos en español disponibles. (These meetings will have subtitles available in Spanish.)
The entire program has been mind-blowing...in a good way! So much great information, so well done, by so many different articulate and heartful experts. It was truly wonderful!
