We need friendly faces to help greet and check-in for our patient day event on Saturday, July 26th at Rush Medical - Searle Conference Center.

Dress is business casual, and the hours are from 9:30am to 4:30pm ET. Lunch will be provided.

The Sumaira Foundation hosts regional patient day events to allow for local clinicians, patients, and caregivers to gather in-person and learn about their rare diseases, connect with local resources, and oftentimes meet another rare disease patient in-person for the first time.

This event is hosted by The Sumaira Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to generating global awareness of NMOSD (neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder) and MOGAD (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease), building communities of support for patients and their caregivers, supporting research and patient advocacy.
