JOIN US FRIDAY APRIL 18, 2014 FOR THE INFORMATION FAIR

Where:
Legacy Emanuel Medical
2801 N. Gantenbein
Portland OR 97227
Rooms 1075 & 1077 - (Just past the Cafeteria in the main hospital)

The CDH Information Fair will be for both medical professionals and the general public to learn more about CDH & pick up resource material. Included will be copies of summaries about the latest research studies, news from around the world, what is CDH and how is it treated, emerging issues seen as more survivors are aging and studies and case histories on Late Presentation CDH (LP-CDH), a form of CDH that is likely very underdiagnosed and very much in need of more awareness!

** We could use some help manning the tables so

if you are interested in volunteering, let us know! **
