Hi Everyone,
We have been pretty busy this summer. We now have a Program and Development Director and her name is Katie Kinney. Katie and I traveled to M D Anderson in Houston, Texas for a one day MEN Seminar. There were over 70 Mener’s in one place at the same time!!! We all identified ourselves by the scars on our necks. While at MD Anderson it was my privilege to meet with Jo Grey, from the UK and AMEND. We had a chance to get together several times over the 4 day trip and it was very interesting to meet with her and learn more about AMEND and the types of material they have worked on and for me to be able to put a face with AMEND. It was also wonderful to get to know the MD Anderson staff and to learn the latest, greatest, medical information, regarding MEN. I will be writing more about this new information in the near future.
In July, Katie and I traveled to Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. We attended the International Endocrine Surgeons Conference while we were there. We were able to have a Hageman Foundation Table where we passed out our new literature and packets. I attended the lectures and met with Endocrine Surgeons from all around the World. We were very enthusiastically received and feel we have gathered more support for Hageman Foundation For Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia. I will be keeping everyone posted as plans are made for the September, 2011, Hageman Foundation in Collaboration with Mayo Clinic MEN Seminar. Thanks for your support. Email me your information Linda@hagemanfoundation.orgto be put on our mailing list. Thank You for Your Support Linda Hageman, RN
