The City of Hope Myeloma Community Connection Group is facilitated by a City of Hope myeloma patient and care partner who strive to inspire hope and encourage the key actions of education, empowerment, and connection. The first hour is designed for newly diagnosed patients or those ready to learn more about myeloma. The second hour empowers attendees to share their experiences, coping strategies and tips in a safe and engaging space. Attendees may attend either or both sessions.
