Summit of Strength Program

A Summit of Strength is a single-day educational event hosted by Cure SMA. Summits provide information for all people with SMA and their caregivers, while also strengthening bonds within our local SMA communities.

Summits of Strength

These one-day mini conferences give families, adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and caregivers an opportunity to network and learn from national and local experts about the latest advances in treatment, care, advocacy, and support. Each Summit offers a unique agenda of topics ranging from standard of care, research and clinical trials, navigating the special education process, stress management techniques, and much more! Presenters are experts in their fields, with years of experience specific to SMA. At these events, there is an opportunity for attendees to have their questions answered by these specialists in an intimate setting.
