CANCELLATION

​

The LHON Conference takes place in conjunction with the UMDF's Symposium.  On April 2, the UMDF updated its website with the following announcement.   

​

"As the world closely follows Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we are taking all necessary precautions to safeguard the well-being of our mitochondrial medicine community.

​

The safety and well-being of our attendees has been our top concern in planning the June symposium.  With travel bans extending into the summer months for our scientific/clinical community, we made the difficult decision to cancel the in-person Mitochondrial Medicine 2020 symposium at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Hotel and Resort.  

​

Our team is working to put together a virtual scientific and family program in the coming months.  Please check back here or stay in touch and follow us at https://www.facebook.com/theUMDF , twitter.com/UMDF, and  https://www.linkedin.com/company/theumdf/

Hotel Reservations: You should be receiving a cancellation from the Marriott regarding your hotel reservation.

​

Please know that we are always here for you during this unprecedented time. For the latest information on the coronavirus (COVID19) and its impact on patient families, please visit umdf.org/coronavirus.

​

Please mark your calendars for June 23-26, 2021 for UMDF Mitochondrial Medicine 2021: Charlotte, NC.
We look forward to celebrating UMDF’s 25th Anniversary with you in Charlotte!"
