IDF Retreats – For Persons and Families Living with PIDD
Traditionally held every other year, Immune Deficiency Foundation Retreats are regional programs that offer something for every member of the primary immunodeficiency (PIDD) community. These programs, normally presented from Friday evening until mid-day Sunday, consist of sessions that feature leading physicians and healthcare professionals presenting information regarding the treatment and management of primary immunodeficiency disease.
IDF Retreats are not only for patients, but also for their families and the medical professionals who treat those with primary immunodeficiency disease. And the information delivered at these gatherings is beneficial whether the patient has been recently diagnosed or has been living with PIDD for a significant amount of time.
In addition to the latest trends in medical research and treatment, IDF Retreats have given voice to insurance specialists, public policy experts and other qualified professionals who are excited to discuss life management issues with members of our community.
The youth programs held during these Retreats offer both education and fun, and are geared toward helping the younger members of our community better manage their disease.
Most importantly, IDF Retreats initiate an environment that allows patients and families to network with other people who are experiencing similar situations. Such interaction often fosters new friendships because patients and families living with primary immunodeficiency disease usually feel a sense of isolation due to their diagnoses. There is comfort in knowing you are not alone when it comes to living with a primary immunodeficiency disease.
