2006 Houston Fibromyalgia Patient Conference
FMAH will host a one-day conference on Fibromyalgia, September 30, 2006, at the Edwin Hornberger Conference Center, located near the Texas Medical Center.
“Piecing Together a World of Hope,” the theme for the conference, comes from the FMAH logo, which seeks to incorporate education, support, research and vision into the association’s quest for answers to the Fibromyalgia puzzle.
Two nationally known speakers have committed to speak: Patrick Wood, M.D., Centre for Research on Pain at McGill University, and Lynne Matallana, National Fibromyalgia Association.
Wood has performed pioneering research with brain imaging and is studying the pain mechanisms in Fibromyalgia. He is known as an excellent speaker and makes technical subjects easier to understand.
Matallana, an FM patient herself, has been a leader in the field of Fibromyalgia education since 1997. She is the cofounder of National Fibromyalgia Association and serves as the editor-in-chief of Fibromyalgia AWARE, the first and only national FM consumer magazine.
We are thrilled to have both of these renowned leaders at our conference.
The conference center is located at 2151 West Holcombe. FMAH has arranged free parking next door to the building. Lunch will be included in the price of the ticket. The conference will also feature exhibitors and a silent auction.
