Greater Metropolitan Washington Area Chapter Meeting

On July 21, CSF co-hosted the first of many educational meetings in the DC area. These free education and awareness meetings, which act like mini-conferences, are designed to educate and inspire physicians and patients about CM and SM and encourage them to become advocates for CSF in their peer groups.

Dr. Frazier Henderson, Chief of Neurosurgery at Doctors Community Hospital in Lanham, MD, was the gracious host of the event. He, along with Scott Gregerson, Vice President of Strategy and Development at Doctors Community Hospital and our CSF chapter representatives in the DC area, pulled together approximately 50 healthcare professionals, patients and activists for a lively 3-hour meeting. Attendees not only learned details about CM and SM from Dr. Fraser Henderson Sr., Dr. Robert Gerwin, and Dr. Alexander Mark, in addition, they also learned about CSF and our goals with respect to these conditions. The feedback that CSF received was fantastic and we look forward to our next meeting on October 13,  2009.
