2022 CurePSP Virtual Fall Family Conference Day 1
Join CurePSP for the 2022 Virtual Fall Family Conference!
CurePSP sponsors and organizes family conferences among its various educational activities, allowing people to learn more about PSP, CBD, and MSA and develop a sense of community. We recognize that these diseases present daily challenges for patients and families.
This year’s CurePSP Virtual Fall Family Conference will consist of pre-recorded sessions from our Philadelphia Fall Family Conference and live Q&A sessions. The event will be split into two parts. The first part will be shown on Friday, December 9th, and the second will be shown on Friday, December 16th.
We partnered with Penn Medicine to provide informative presentations on multidisciplinary care, physical therapy, research updates, social work, palliative care, and more.
All sessions will be recorded and posted on our YouTube after the event.
Registration is free of charge.
