ABD is pleased to announce our continuing support of the 6th CCHS Network Family Conference to take place in at the Town & Country Resort in San Diego, California on June 29 - July 2, 2011.

"The purpose of the CCHS Family Network is to assist each other, and especially new CCHS families, in coping with issues that arise in living with a family member who is technology (ventilator) dependent and whose respiratory status must be regularly monitored.

"Educational family conferences will be held every few years and CCHS physicians and researchers will be invited to present information that is important to families. Working together with medical practitioners and CCHS families from around the world, we are making great strides toward understanding and optimally treating CCHS."

"The CCHS Family Network has organized and raised funds for conferences since 1990. At the conferences, families have a chance to meet and share experiences, and the children and young adults can meet, play and socialize, building life-long friendships with each other. "

ABD is proud to support specialized groups such as the CCHS Family Network.
