The goal of the Foundation's Patient & Family Conferences is not only to provide educational and research information, but also to provide a supportive, social environment for patients, family members, and caregivers who have been impacted by Graves’ disease, Thyroid Eye Disease, and other thyroid related disorders. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have had thyroid disease for many years, the Foundation's programs will be extremely valuable to you, your family and loved ones.
- Listen to world-renowned doctors and researchers discuss treatment options and the latest research studies
- Spend time with conference experts, who will be available to answer general questions
- Understand how to cope with emotional challenges and lessen any feelings of isolation you might have
- Meet in small groups separately with other patients while family members do the same. Learn how to take charge of your disease, your health, and enjoy life better
- Network with others who understand what you're going through
- Become empowered through education to become more effective in your own health care communications with your doctor
