The Pediatric Guidelines Update project is an important undertaking in making sure that all physicians have the most current treatment protocols for CVS in children. We are excited to share that thanks to a few generous donors in December, we raised $15,000 designated to go towards this project. The Pediatric Guidelines committee has been working diligently and hopes to have the updated document completed by the end of 2021.

March 5th is CVS International Awareness Day (IAD)

Thank you to everyone who participated in CVSA's December Virtual Expert Presentation! Our presenter was Dr. Sally Tarbell and she talked to us about Psychology and CVS and how the brain-gut connection can have a profound effect.  You can watch the presentation in its entirety on CVSA's YouTube channel.

Wondering about disability for CVS? In January, we will hear from Attorney Dave Hudec. Attorney Dave Hudec graduated from Marquette University with a Bachelor of Science – Nursing in 1980 and from Marquette University in 1987. He combines his experience from working in surgery as a nurse with his legal experience to persuade the Social Security Disability Administration to grant benefits to those in need. Dave is a sustaining member of the National Organization of Social Security Representatives, Wisconsin Bar Association and the Wisconsin Lawyers Assistance Program. Dave has worked with CVS patients and understands the struggles that those affected by CVS face. Follow us on social media for the latest updates!
