Enlightening update regarding the upcoming “JCCSG Education Symposium and Support Event“. As previously stated the “ROAD TO PREVENTION” event is in partnership and sponsored by Mount Sinai Hospital. Its goal is to raise awareness and give people an inside scoop of the research program.
This will be a “Ladies Only” education program. Renowned speakers will keep the participants on edge with the latest updates in research regarding Inflammatory Bowel disease (IBD). Patients, wives, parents and caregivers alike, of people suffering from Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis will be mesmerized.
We would like to take the opportunity to invite the non-effected family members of effected. It is highly regarded to have family members of IBD Sufferers participate in this study as a means of prevention. By navigating the “road to prevention” together we can save our future generations.
The event will take place on Sunday, פרשת בהר-בחוקותי, May 10, 2015. At the new Vilchovitz Hall (former Yeshiva of Spring Valley, Boys School), 230 Maple Ave., Monsey, NY 10952. Program to start 7:15pm Sharp!
