BEYOND ADVOCACY
Building a C. diff Movement Focused on Care, Community, and Empowerment.
Over the past decade, we have held nine National C. diff Summits and six Lobby Days. Please join us for our tenth Summit, where we will return to basics while innovating for the future.
This year’s Summit will feature updates from researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders in the morning, networking for all attendees over lunch, and hands-on training for volunteers in the afternoon. Volunteers will receive training in:
lobbying and testifying to regulatory bodies speaking to the media and presenting at conferences
providing emotional and logistical support to C. diff patients and family members
serving as patient advisors on clinical trials, among other topics
The next day, we will meet with our legislators to urge them to protect public health and join us in the fight to end the harm caused by C. diff infections.
If you’re a C. diff expert and want to present at the Summit, please propose a topic.
