February 2020

Why should YOU attend the 14 th  International CVSA Family and Adult conference? We asked past conference goers, and this is what they had to say!  From Susan R. Attending the conference is a must! A lot of new information since the last conference. The networking, camaraderie and sharing reminds me that I am not alone in this and that there are medical professionals dedicated to improving the lives of CVSers. I can't wait to share the new information with my physician!  From Lexy J. I know there are other Canadians with CVS but Christina had never met anyone else like her until we traveled to Milwaukee to attend the conference. I want to thank you at CVSA for giving us this hope. From Kiersten W. "Was I really meeting other people that had experienced what I had experienced and could relate to me?" … "I was finally in a crowd of people that “understood” me. I knew I could share my trials and tribulations and not have them look at me with an expression of “huh?” They really knew what I meant.”
