Support Groups

 

MGF of Illinois’ support groups are run by experienced leaders who also live with MG. Support group meetings help you learn about managing the disease through information that is occasionally presented by the leader or a speaker and sharing experiences with other patients and family members.

Please call the MGF of Illinois office (800.888.6208) for details about topics.

Meeting dates are subject to change; please call the office to confirm.
