GBS|CIDP May Awareness Month

Raising Awareness of GBS|CIDP to Healthcare Professionals Worldwide – Get On The Map!

Will your region be on the map this May? Join our worldwide campaign to raise awareness of GBS and CIDP to healthcare professionals! The ongoing support and resources the Foundation can provide for their patients with GBS, CIDP and MMN are invaluable, and many HCP’s are unaware of the vast resources available including, monthly online support, local chapter meetings, a world-wide center of excellence, monthly webinars to guide patients through the entire journey, a biennial international symposium, and so much more!

How can you get involved? Joining our May Awareness campaign is as easy as filling out the form below and ordering awareness brochures. You can hand deliver to your local professional healthcare community (primary care, neurologists, physical & occupational therapists, anyone in your circle of care). Learn more and order here: https://gbscidp.tfaforms.net/4986062 . If you live outside of the US please contact info@gbs-cidp.org and we will be happy to provide an electronic version.

Once we ship your brochures, you’ll region will be on the map!

However, if you would like to plan a presentation, a lunch and learn, workshop or any other type of awareness activity to the HCP’s, contact Maureen.neville@gbs-cidp.org, and she can offer advice, ideas & help guide you through the process!

Let’s get on the map of Healthcare Professionals worldwide!
