Global Conference Brings JGA Families Together, Moves Research Forward

We have had some time to reflect on our time in Boston and our hearts are SO full!

We had 110 families, our entire research team, 30 therapists and doctors from Boston Children’s Hospital and many more join us for our “Together We Stand” JGA Family Conference. Thank you to those of you who traveled from near and far to be there, there’s nothing better than being all together! We hope you left feeling inspired and hopeful.
