Today is our last day, and we have many great sessions for you to enjoy. If you joined us yesterday, it was emotional and patient-centered. Today, we have two different tracks: the patient track and the physician track. Dive into a robust lineup of expert speakers, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking discussions designed to deepen your knowledge of SCD and amplify our collective impact. Let’s keep the momentum going as we continue to learn, collaborate, and push for positive change together!
