Support Groups

Support Groups are available as a response to the needs of those suffering from MG. They offer an excellent opportunity to share coping techniques, build moral and learn more about this disease. When you attend a support group meeting you can learn from other MG patients about their experiences. We encourage you to invite family members or friends to attend meetings with you.

We have two active groups in Arizona that meet during the months of January through May and September through November.

Responsible for those meeting are:
Tucson/Southern Arizona Area
