Patient Education Day – Allergic Diseases in the First Decade of Life

The San Diego Allergy society is hosting a Patient Education Day on Allergic Diseases in the First Decade of Life, including asthma, eczema, environmental allergies, and food allergies. The goal of this event is to provide children who suffer from allergic diseases with the most up to date information on diagnosis, managements, and treatment options from patient advocates who either have the disease or who have children who suffer from the disease as well as local experts in allergic disease management. The event is free for all families (we only require a $20 registration fee per family that is refunded when you check in for the event) as we want this message to be available to all who are interested. Light refreshments will also be provided free of cost and registration for the event includes free admission to Birch Aquarium for the entire day. If there are any families who unable to provide the registration hold fee, they can reach out to us via email for alternative registration options.
