US Pain Foundation October Meeting

September 25, 2013 U.S. PAIN FOUNDATION  Together. Making a Difference.   This October, U.S. Pain is hosting two events at the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, California with the sole purpose of creating a clearer understanding of chronic pain and a broader platform for the medical conditions many of us face.  Attendees are going to see the courage and strength that pain warriors exhibit daily are well beyond imagination. In addition, we are extremely confident that those with pain will find comfort, community and empowerment whether you attend one or both events. U.S. Pain exists to help individuals find resources and inspiration while also advocating for patient rights and access to proper care. It is with this vision in mind that we bring the "INvisible Project Launch Party" and "Take Control of Your Pain Day" to the Allied Arts Guild. Funds raised from the Launch Party will support the programs and mission of U.S. Pain.   We appreciate your support and encourage you to join us to spread awareness, information, hope and inspiration.
