Our 2011 CDH Conference details will be posted soon!
Our conferences are designed for families of CDH survivors, grieving
CDH families, adult survivors and CDH researchers!
Since our first conference in 2000, CHERUBS is proud to work with the
world's best CDH hospitals and researchers to bring the families and
the medical world together. Our 2009 conference bought
together 8 CDH groups and families from 4 countries!
Members who have attended our conferences will tell you that they
learned so much more about CDH, made new friends and gained a lot of
support.
Because our conferences are confidential to maintain privacy and allow
parents to talk freely about their journeys with CDH, we only allow
members of CHERUBS to attend. This is also to keep our members
safe and medical information private. All CDH parents are
invited to join CHERUBS for free by registering at our site at
http://www.cdhsupport.org
