De Lonlay’s HI medical group.  Over cups of coffee, they discussed differences in health care systems and the impact on patient and family support needs, how HI cases are diagnosed and managed in France, and various patient, family, and medical community concerns.  Matt delivered some education and awareness pamphlets, all translated into French.  There is some new famiy support group there, which we are following up on to build stronger connections and identify shared goals.
