Town Halls

Join Cure JM and receive invitations to our monthly Town Halls.

Our monthly Town Halls provide an open forum to let your voice be heard! We provide a platform for dialogue between families and JM experts on topics important to you. By joining, you will connect with leading physicians and researchers on breaking updates, hear inspiring patient stories, and learn about new programs. The Town Hall is your direct link to connecting and participating in the programs that are driving our mission forward! Join us today to be a force in our progress.

Hear from various speakers on topics of interest to Cure JM families, including information on the JDM basics, new treatments, the latest research updates, and other support for JM families.
