Director's Letter
Greetings ,

The next BioTherapy Live! broadcast is coming up on Tuesday, October 19 at 2:00 pm EDT (11:00 am Pacific Time). The program will focus on your leech therapy questions and answers. Tune in live with your questions, or submit your questions in advance and watch the recording for our answers. Better yet, if you listen live, you can help answer the questions! I am looking forward to a lively discussion about hirudotherapy.

The Zoom link, for watching live, is below. If you can not participate in the live program, watch the recording on our Facebook page or our YouTube channel afterwards.

Advancing healthcare through education and research in biotherapy,
