TOWN HALL MEETINGS
The American Brain Tumor Association has a new educational Sunday
Afternoon program activity for brain tumor patients and their families,
Town Hall Meetings.
The intent of this regional activity is to offer patients/families
an opportunity to hear a panel of clinicians present state-of-the-art
treatment information in his/her own specialty. Each clinician
makes a brief presentation and then responds to written questions
from the audience.
Plans are currently underway to have two Town Hall Meetings
this spring: Baltimore, March 16th and Philadelphia, April 6th.
For information, please send your name and mailing address to
us at info@abta.org. Be sure
to tell us which Town Hall Meeting you are interested in attending.
About a month before the meeting, we'll forward complete details,
including speakers and location. We ask only that you call to
reserve a place for this free educational meeting.
For more information, call us at (800) 886-2282.
