TAG Patient/Family Conference The 2009 TAG Patient/Family Conference will be held in New York City on October 24 in conjunction with the upcoming 9th Cooley’s Anemia Symposium, which the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation is organizing with the New York Academy of Sciences on October 21-24.
 The TAG Conference will include sessions on October 24 that are part of the 9th Cooley’s Anemia Symposium, as well as sessions that are separate from the Symposium, allowing members to get the best of both worlds. In addition, TAG members have the option of attending part or all of the Symposium, starting on October 21. (For more information about the Symposium, please visit http://www.nyas.org/Cooleys9; however, do not register through that site if you are a patient or family member.
