WALK WITH US
2020 Patient Education Program & Walk for Behcet's Disease
The 2020 Patient Education Program & Walk for Behcet's Disease is being redesigned as a virtual event.
As the outbreak of COVID-19 has been developing worldwide, ABDA has been closely tracking its impact on the global community. We have been monitoring daily recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO), along with the numerous travel restrictions issued by companies and medical institutions. After carefully weighing the facts as well as our duties to members, attendees, and the local communities, we've made the difficult decision to postpone our 2020 in person events. Please stay tuned for our virtual events. Thank you for your constant support!
-The ABDA Board and Staff.
