Provider
Education Project
Promotional
ad
Feedback from both patients and health care professionals
was central to the redesign of a print advertisement promoting the CFS provider
education project. The ad, targeted toward a multidisciplinary audience that
includes physicians, physician assistants, nurses, physical and occupational
therapists, will be placed in several medical and health care journals including
“The Journal of Family Practice” and “New England Journal of
Medicine.”

Large exhibit
display
In November 2003, a new 8’ x 8’ free-standing exhibit was
unveiled at the American Public Health Conference in
San Francisco
. The display, a
collaborative effort of The
CFIDS Association
and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, reminds health care
professionals that they can “help the person behind the symptoms” and offers
information about CFS and opportunities for continuing
education opportunities. The exhibit will be utilized at numerous national conferences
over the next year.

Small banner display
A
smaller version of the exhibit is also helping to enhance interest in and
knowledge of CFS. The size and portability of this display makes it ideal for
use at patient conferences and local meetings. For information about “borrowing”
the banner stand for your event, contact
