About the event
The MG Awareness Day will be an educational and interactive experience that reflects the many ways that Myasthenia Gravis affects daily living and strategies for taking control. The objective is to:
- Raise awareness about the impact of Myasthenia Gravis for the general public
- Educate people diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis about treatment options, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and safety
- Address co-morbid health conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, stress, and diabetes
The atmosphere will embody an "edu-tainment" model with engaging activities, empowerment messaging, social interaction and wellness vendors/partners providing information and solutions.
** This is also an opportunity for the community to get FREE health screenings as part of a holistic lifestyle. We want attendees to take advantage of the FREE health screenings, games, educational materials and FREE food. Everyone MUST register for the respective city of their choice.
