MG Support Groups Go Virtual
NEW GROUP! Conquer MG hosts a monthly support group online with Zoom for English-speaking individuals who have MG – no matter where you live. The group meets the second Wednesday of the month, 2pm Central time. If you’d like to get notices and login information, email us at info@myastheniagravis.org.
