EDS & Related Conditions: Current Updates and Q&A with Dr. Paldeep Atwal

We are happy to announce our first virtual support group hosted by Metro DC EDS and HSD Support Group and EDS Wellness, Inc. Kendra Neilsen Myles, Executive Director and Founder of EDS Wellness, has kindly offered to moderate and run virtual support group events for us. As with in-person meetings, we will have speaker(s) on a specific topic/focus, but also will try to include general discussion time after a speaker and/or as a separate meeting. For more information about Kendra and EDS Wellness, please see http://edswellness.org.

We are so thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to speak with Dr. Paldeep Atwal for the first time and look forward to learning from his experience and work with the EDS community. Dr. Atwal is a geneticist well-known in the EDS community as he has helped discover two new genetic connective tissue syndromes.

A Q&A will follow his presentation, so if you have any questions to ask in advance for Dr. Atwal or about the virtual meeting, please email kendra@edswellness.org.
