Pituitary Support Group Meetings - Los Angeles

The Pituitary Support Group at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center meets the needs of patients, friends and family members living with pituitary disease. We meet once a month to discuss a variety of topics and pressing issues. Sessions are hosted by pituitary center staff as well as guest speakers who bring their expertise on how best to manage emotional well being.

We encourage patients to attend with friends, spouses and other family members in order to help gain more insight into dealing with this disease. Patients relate and find perspective by listening and sharing with others who are living the same experience. Our sessions are open to the general public.
