Celebrate the Patients! 

 

Join us Monday, June 18th at 3:30 p.m. to celebrate the people we work hard for every day-- the patients. 

 

Meet Christine, who is living with MS;  Dave a Multiple Myeloma patient;  Kyle, a young man with Hunter's Syndrome; and Sandra, who lives with Fabry's Disease.


They will share firsthand the importance of research & development for new therapies and cures.

 

Stick around following the program for Airgas' famous ice cream!
