We are thrilled to invite you to join us and hundreds of others virtually for Rare Disease Week on Capitol Hill from February 22nd to March 2nd, for a week that can change your life. In 2022 advocates will once again have the opportunity to participate in the Points for Advocacy Scavenger Hunt and the EveryLife Foundation will award a total of $100,000 to the top-50 point earners' rare disease non-profit organization of choice! Over the last 11 years, thousands of rare disease patients, family members, friends, and health care providers have joined together to give rare disease patients a voice on Capitol Hill. Meeting virtually during the pandemic has not slowed us down but has reenergized many of us on the importance of our advocacy work. Both of our first times attending Rare Disease Week, Sarah in 2017 and Sarita in 2021, sparked our passion for advocacy! We hope that you will join us for Rare Disease Week which brings the community together to learn, network and advocate. Please reach out to RDLA staff Katelyn Laws at klaws@everylifefoundation.org if you have any questions or need more information.

2nd Annual Weill Cornell Pituitary Symposium: Pituitary Disorders Across the Age Spectrum CME
MaryO posted a calendar event in Cushie Calendar
untilFriday, October 19 at 8:00am to 4:00pm Belfer Research Building, 3rd Floor 413 East 69th St., New York, NY 10021 This course is a comprehensive overview and discussion of the evaluation; management; and medical, surgical, and radiation treatments of the pituitary tumor. The conference will comprise lectures, case-based talks, and Q&A panel sessions. The pituitary gland plays an enormously important role in human development, the maintenance of various essential physiologic functions, and aging and senescence. Hence, the health of the pituitary gland is critical at all stages of human life. For this reason, there are a variety of pituitary disorders that can have a profound impact on multiple organ systems at different ages. General practitioners and even specialists in endocrinology may not be fully aware of the widespread impact of the pituitary gland in health and disease; the function of this course is to educate and inform a general medical audience on pituitary disease. For more information visit their website or contact Tatiana Soto at tas2041@med.cornell.edu or 212-746-0403. -
