Thanks to all our attendees for a great conference!!
We would like to thank all of the teens and families who traveled far and wide, and our devoted staff who made our 3rd annual Endometriosis Conference on Saturday, May 2, 2009 a huge success.
For our readers who were unable to make the conference, we will post a link to a recorded webcast: “An Overview of Endometriosis, Treatment Options, and Fertility”, speaker: Dr. Marc Laufer, Chief of Gynecology at Children's Hospital Boston before our Endo Chat on Tuesday, May 26th from 4-7pm.
This annual conference is an opportunity for young women ages 12-22 who have been diagnosed with endometriosis, and their families to come together for education and support.
Our first three conferences in '07, '08 and '09 were a success — thank you to all of our attendees and speakers! We look forward to hosting the event annually, so that participants can continue to meet other young women and their families in a safe, comfortable environment.
