Join us at the Friendship Baptist Church in New York, NY, for a conversation about health. Experts in the field will provide essential information to help attendees understand the importance of food and how it affects our health, what multiple myeloma is and why awareness of the disease matters and how myeloma impacts the Black community. The workshop will also feature a meaningful conversation between a myeloma doctor and patients — offering real-life insights into clinical trials.
Participants will have the chance to listen to presentations, ask questions, and gain valuable knowledge from myeloma experts in the field.
