Peer Perspectives & Connections

Presentation Topic: TBA
This patient-led, community-focused event is hosted on the Bateman Horne Center’s Zoom platform and designed to provide individuals living with chronic illnesses a welcoming space to connect, share, and learn from one another.
Each 90-minute meeting includes:
- A brief presentation by a volunteer presenter on a topic of their choice
- A Q&A session to explore the topic further
- Breakout rooms to discuss a fun, engaging question and build connections
Whether you’re living with a chronic illness, a family member, or a friend looking to understand and support, these gatherings create a warm, inclusive space to ease isolation and foster meaningful connections. Resources shared by the presenter will also be emailed after the meeting.
