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.

Upcoming Town Halls

April 1 Town Hall 2026

Stay informed with the latest on juvenile myositis diagnosis and treatment options. Dr. Stacey Tarvin will offer insights into best practice care, what to expect along the treatment pathway, and the most current understanding of this disease. Empower yourself with the knowledge to navigate the journey ahead and ensure the best possible care for your child.

Dr. Stacey Tarvin is the program director for the Pediatric Rheumatology fellowship and the Section Education director for pediatric rheumatology at Indiana University and Riley Children’s Hospital. She holds key leadership positions in seemingly every organization focused on pediatric rheumatology, and most importantly, is the chair of Cure JM’s Clinical Care Network. Her most important patients, however, are the ones who refer to her as Dr. Mom. Stacey is married with three rambunctious kids.
