Ahead of World Kidney Day on March 12th 2020, Montreal Chapter Coordinator, Luisa Miniaci-Di Leo has been invited by Dr. Bollée to talk about PKD live on Facebook from his office at IRCM (Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montréal) on March 11 at 2pm.
As part of the patient advocacy groups in Montreal, Luisa Miniaci-Di Leo was invited to participate in the “Rare Disease Research Day” at the McGill University Health Centre.
"The Montreal Chapter is physically located in Dollard-Des-Ormeaux and started its 2020 awareness campaign early with a visit to DDO federal MP Sameer Zuberi and provincial national assembly representative Carlos J Leitao. Also participating in both meetings were several PKD patients from the Greater Montreal Area."
With 2019 drawing to a close, we hope you remember the PKD Foundation of Canada in your holiday plans and consider making a year-end gift to help advance Canadian research, advocacy and support for more PKD patients and their loved ones.
