Welcome to the 2020 Virtual CAF Patient Family On-Line Mini-Conference - Saturday, July 11, 2020 - 12:00pm - 6:00pm (EST)
With the support of our sponsors, we are able to host this on-line "mini-conference" where we can still provide you with helpful information and you can still ask the questions, and get the answers, that directly impact your life as a thalassemia patient or caregiver.
