2020 Webinar conference

We are happy to report that our 2020 Conference Webinar was a success! Although we all prefer in-person interaction with these experts, the webinar was also very powerful. The virtual “turnout” exceeded our expectations, and your many comments we have received indicate that you enjoyed and benefitted from attending. Although the webinar is available for viewing here on the website (and we encourage you to watch it), the highlights are as follows:
  • Dr. Nivedita Jerath gave a great overview of PP
  • Laura Russell discussed PP from a social worker’s standpoint, and the importance of emotional support for the patient and caregiver
  • Dr. Todd Bell provided a timely talk about Covid-19 and its known properties as well as its uncertain interaction upon PP.
  • Dr. Silvestri from Strongbridge Biopharma had a very good program.
  • Dr. Steve Cannon once again gave an insightful, detailed presentation on channelopathies that was both scientific and understandable. You can click here to see the Questions and Answers provided by Dr. Cannon.
Our thanks to Strongbridge Biopharma for sponsoring this webinar! We intend to feature more webinars beginning the first of the 2021, and they will be focused on single subjects and therefore will be much shorter in length. The PPA is moving forward in new growth directions but we will never leave our roots of being there for you so that you are never alone. Click for speech
