We’d love to invite you to a casual, in-person support gathering for individuals and families impacted by mitochondrial disease here in New York City.

Living with mitochondrial disease can feel isolating at times, but you are not alone. This gathering is an opportunity to connect with others who understand the journey—whether you’re a patient, parent, caregiver, or loved one.

What to expect:

• A brief mitochondrial disease overview with Michio Hirano, MD.
• A relaxed, informal setting
• Time to share experiences (only if you feel comfortable)
• Connection, understanding, and community

Details:
📍 Location: Columbia Doctors Midtown
51 W. 51st Street
3rd Floor Conference Room
New York, New York 10019

📅 Date: September 19,2026
⏰ Time: 2:00pm-4:00pm ET

There’s no agenda—just a chance to come together, support one another, and build meaningful connections.

Whether this is your first time meeting others in the mitochondrial community or you’ve been connected for years, we welcome you.

Please feel free to bring a friend, family member, or caregiver.

If you’re interested in attending or have any questions, please reach out to Margaret Moore at margaret.moore@umdf.org

We hope to see you there!
