2nd meeting of the RI chapter of the Vasculitis Foundation

The 2nd RI chapter meeting was a success! It was attended by 8 people this time and we hosted a guest speaker - Dr. Paul Monach from the Boston University Vasculitis Center. Topics of his presentation included: a review of the types of Vasculitis, medications used to treat them, and the science and art of tapering off these medications.

Based on the feedback I received from those attended, a good time was had by all! Gift bags containing literature, bracelets, and stickers were given out as well. The two-hour meeting went by quickly as we wished we had more time!

Next meeting is scheduled for Spring of 2010. Hope to draw a larger crowd each time!
