Where: A computer, laptop, smartphone or tablet near you
With food allergies on the rise in the United States, there is a growing need to provide education and connect patients and families with experts. More than 32 million Americans – including 6 million children – have at least one food allergy. Severe allergic reactions to food can be life-threatening.
Board-certified allergists and Global Food Therapy co-founders Douglas H. Jones, MD and Atul N. Shah, MD developed the concept and agenda of the Summit with the goal of engaging patients, parents and caregivers on food allergy prevention and treatment. The sessions are designed to provide practical, evidence-based, easy-to-understand information.
