MG-MI Calendar

Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of Michigan is one of the oldest—and most active—MG advocacy organizations in the country. With the focus on Michigan patients and caregivers, MG-MI organizes educational conferences, wellness events and provides current resources to the MG community.
Perhaps its most important function is to help organize support group meetings, which bring MG patients and caregivers together to learn, share and support each other as they strive to live their best lives with MG. In-person meetings are held regularly in many areas of the state during spring, summer and fall. Virtual meetings occur at least once a month.
Check this calendar regularly, as new events and meetings are scheduled frequently.
