The 2023 Patient & Loved One Summit is August 11-12th
Join members of the Castleman disease community in Philadelphia, PA for two days of education, insight, and friendship.
The Castleman Disease Collaborative Network (CDCN) held its 10th annual Patient and Loved One Summit on August 11th and 12th! This event was held in person with a virtual component. Patients and loved ones from around the world attended to learn more about Castleman disease, find support, and hear the latest research updates. The CDCN’s co-founder, Dr. David Fajgenbaum, physician-scientist at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Chasing My Cure: A Doctor’s Race to Turn Hope Into Action, and other key members of the CDCN team hosted this impactful event!
We also had the opportunity to recognize the amazing efforts of individual members of our community— Lisa Carleno-Patient of the Year, Stacey Gravina-Loved One of the Year, and Josh Brandstadter-Physician of the Year.
