This conference is an opportunity for young women ages 12-22 who have been diagnosed with MRKH, and their families to come together for education and support.

 

Our first two conferences in '06 and '07 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.

 

We welcome your suggestions for a successful 2008 conference
