Peer Support

Peer Support

Cure JM is an organization of parents, patients, and clinicians whose mission is to fund JM research, care, and support.  We offer peer-support for every member of the family to help them thrive in their daily life with JM, comply with medication instructions, and connect with other families.

We invite all clinicians of pediatric or adult JM patients to share these resources with their patients.
