EmPOWER M.E. is a program dedicated to empowering patients and caregivers in medical and advocacy environments, giving our community tools to share our stories with impact. Driven by patient input, EmPOWER M.E. projects strive to ensure that no family ever has to learn “the hard way” on their journey with ME/CFS, Long Covid, or other post-infection diseases.
One of the cornerstones of this program is the EmPOWER M.E. Roundtable — a series that takes place during our annual Advocacy Week. Panels of patient advocates, professionals, and scientists share their expertise on topics relevant to the quality of life for people with ME/CFS, Long Covid, and their caregivers. Learn more about past events in this series below.
