New England Event Updates
Published: April 21, 2020
Due to COVID-19 many of our 2020 events and programs have been canceled, rescheduled, or changed. Please see here for updates.
The safety and well-being of patients and the IBD community is the Foundation’s top priority. We realize the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on our communities and are closely monitoring recommendations from the CDC, World Health Organization, and other local health authorities. Given this information, many of our events and meetings through March and May will be postponed or have a virtual component. We will continue to update this page regularly with additional information as we have them. Please take care and stay well. Any event not listed on this page will proceed as planned.
