Meetings are facilitated by physicians and medical students of UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, and Wake Forest Baptist Health in partnership with community leads.
In order to maintain a safe space and patient confidentiality, our events are limited to patients and their immediate caregivers (loved ones) and Hope for HS affiliated medical personnel. All others are encouraged to follow the public Facebook page.
