IBD Education Day 2019 Recap
March 4, 2019

On Sunday, Feb. 24, 2019, patients of the Center for Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and their families attended the annual IBD Education Day. There were more than 200 participants between the in-person and virtual options. 

A panel of health specialists explored the aspects of living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and handouts on important topics related to IBD management were provided to participants. 

The IBD Family Research Council (FRC) consists of volunteers raising funds for research at the Center for IBD. They discussed the 2019 Walk for Hope and ways in which families could get involved in the fun. Learn more about the 2019 Walk for Hope.

The Vetri Community Partnership held a cooking demonstration for the young adult and children activity room.

After the presentations, the specialists joined together for an IBD Expert Panel and answered questions submitted by the attendees. To conclude the event, a unique group of experts — IBD patients of all ages — talked openly about how they cope with their disease.

We would love for you to join us next year. Save the date: Feb 9, 2020! More details to follow.
