Annual Meeting & Spring Conference
April 21, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Woodland Community Center
Register now for our Annual Meeting & Spring Conference being held this year on Wednesday, April 21 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. We are returning again to the lovely facilities of the Woodland Community Center.
Our keynote speaker will be Jeffrey Reinking, MD, Medical Director of the Auburn Pain Rehabilitation Medical Clinic. He will bring cutting edge information on pain management and treatment options. Dr. Reinking regularly speaks to other physicians on managing pain as well as directing a highly respected pain clinic.
Natasha Pires, a key staff member at The Neuropathy Association in New York City, will also be joining us. Natasha handles medical and research portions of The Neuropathy Association agenda. We will again have a fun and helpful afternoon activity. We are still finalizing this, but are hoping for Tai Chi. The day includes a catered buffet lunch plus some important discussion on the direction of the NCCNA.
This is a free event for all members and prospective members as well as caregivers. We would really like to have someone from each support group if at all possible. Why not arrange a carpool and bring a group? This is a great opportunity to meet PN folks from all over. Register now to reserve your space.
