The Leukemia Research Foundation (LRF) and Gilda's Club Chicago are partnering to offer a free Town Hall Meeting for Spanish-speaking leukemia, lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)patients and their families. This interactive question and answer session will be presented entirely in Spanish. The goal is to offer patients and family members the opportunity to participate in three hours of uninterrupted dialogue with medical experts on leukemia, lymphoma and MDS.
Several medical experts will participate in the open-forum style meeting, including Morris Kletzel, M.D. from Children's Memorial Hospital; Tulio Rodriguez, M.D. from Loyola University Medical Center; Mary Lou Schmidt, M.D. from the Pediatrics Department at University of Illinois Chicago Hospital; and Angel Galvez, M.D. from Lutheran General Cancer Care in Park Ridge. Moderating the meeting will be Leda Santodomingo, reporter for Telemundo, Channel 44, WSNS-TV Chicago.
The Spanish Town Hall Meeting will take place Saturday, Oct. 29, from 1 to 4 p.m. at Gilda's Club Chicago, 537 N. Wells St. Free childcare and free valet parking are also available. Light refreshments will be served.
