2025 Saturday Meeting Schedule

Our tentative schedule for 2025 will be for in-person meetings (which may move to Zoom depending on COVID/Flu/RSV status).  Our in-person meeting will be at The Wellness House in Hinsdale.  Saturday meeting dates for 2025 are:

• February 1, 2025
  
• September 6, 2025

Meetings are generally informal.  The typical agenda includes patient GIST journey updates and may also include outside subject matter experts as well as informal updates on GIST management and recent GIST publications or meeting presentations.  There is no charge for the meeting. You do not have to be a member of The Life Raft Group to attend.

Virtual Meetings:

 If we are meeting via Zoom, invitations will be sent during the week of the meeting and again on the Friday before to all those on the Chicago Area GIST Group mailing list. If you think you might not be on the list ... text me at 847-302-5133 or email me at tjhughes43 at comcast.net.  Our Google Group mailbox is gistchicago@googlegroups.com.
