CFS Education & Empowerment Comes to Tampa

Until there is no more CFS, it's vitally important for patients, caregivers and clinicians to know more about this illness. The need for this kind of in-depth education is why the CFIDS Association of America is bringing CFS experts Dr. Lucinda Bateman, a top CFS clinician in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Dr. Suzanne Vernon, scientific director for the CFIDS Association, to Tampa on Saturday, April 26. The seminar will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Embassy Suites USF.

This is the eighth seminar in a series of educational programs held in cities across the United States to provide important information on diagnosis, treatment and research advances.

Association president & CEO Kim McCleary will also be on hand to update participants on advances in public and media awareness of CFS and new opportunities stemming from the culmination of progress that the CFS community is experiencing in awareness, advocacy and science.

Suzanne Vernon, PhD, is the Association’s new scientific director. She has nearly two decades of experience as a microbiologist.

A joint question-and-answer forum will follow speaker presentations, allowing participants to ask questions and learn more about the subject matter presented.

To receive a brochure with complete details, please send an e-mail to cfids@cfids.org with the subject line “KNOW MORE” or call 704-364-0466. Tickets are $25 for preregistrants and $35 at the door. Seating is limited, so preregistration is encouraged. Click here to register now online!
