Ask the Doctors
April 2011
TBA
Oak Park, Illinois
Every April, NF Midwest holds a informal meeting called "Ask The
Doctors" where NF patients, families, or other interested parties can
ask questions of physicians that are considered very experienced in
Neurofibromatosis. This is also an excellent place to meet others
dealing with NF. This event is totally FREE.
Every October, NF Midwest holds a all day symposium. There are
usually several different speakers on various topics related to
Neurofibromatosis or dealing with a chronic disorder. The event
includes a continental breakfast, lunch and childcare for children
OVER 5.
