Do you have questions about myasthenia gravis? Curious about the latest resources, medical advances, and wellness options available to patients? Join us at a free Community Health Fair!
MGFA’s free Community Health Fairs are designed to help you or your loved one navigate MG. Hear from and talk with medical professionals, access educational and wellness resources, and meet others in the MG community. Connect with each other, share stories and guidance, and learn more about managing this disease.

At MGFA Community Health Fairs, you can…
* Learn from MG experts near you about treatment options and strategies for managing MG.
* Ask MG patients, support group leaders, and medical experts your questions.
* Find information and educational materials.
* Connect with local businesses that specialize in patient and caregiver needs.
* Learn more about MG research and treatment developments from experts and corporate industry leaders.
* Try out the “MG Experience” to understand the challenges of living with MG if you’re a caregiver, family member, or friend.
* Connect to share stories and gain support.
This event includes educational presentations led by MG experts, followed by lunch and a chance to visit exhibitors at your own pace. There is plenty of seating throughout if you need to take a rest.
Your support network of family and friends is welcome, including children (look for the children’s activity corner at the fair). Please register each attendee individually on our website, www.myasthenia.org.
Note that this event is part of a two-day series co-hosted with Houston Methodist. The first day is for medical professionals. Your RSVP will be for the second day, geared toward patients and caregivers.
This event is made possible thanks to our sponsors, including presenting sponsors Alexion and argenx.
