In a continuing effort to support the ME/CFS community, Solve M.E. and Bateman Horne Center (BHC) will launch a groundbreaking four-part webinar series titled, “Severe ME/CFS: Care, Rights, and Research.” This free online series is designed to provide education and support for individuals living with severe ME/CFS, as well as their caregivers.
