[Guest guest]

REMINDER - - REMINDER - - REMINDER

 

 

Our next CMT Support Group meeting is this Saturday and the weatherman is

predicting good weather for Saturday.  So I'm hopeful that I will see many of

you at our meeting. 

 

Our speaker is a physiatrist,  the medical specialty that puts it all

together for CMT patients.  They coordinate the rehabilation services needed to

manage CMT.  I myself have just recently learned the value of working with a

physiatrist and thought you all might also want to learn more about the

specialty. 

 

Dr. Bagley will be our speaker.  She is the head of the Phsyical Medicine

& Rehabilitation center for Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.  This will be a

wonderful opportunity to ask those questions we all have about how to manage

CMT. 

 

Below is date & time information about our meeting.  I've also attached a flyer

that you can give to others that might be interested in attending our meeting.

 

Hope to see you on March 26th!

 

Margaret
