New York City CLL Support Group

August 12 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

The CLL Society invites you to our CLL patient and caregiver support group sponsored by the CLL Society Support & Education Network. We will meet on the second Sunday of the month at 3pm unless otherwise indicated.

We will be meeting at 1305 York Ave, New York, NY (Manhattan- South West corner of 70th St. & York Ave) The only modern glass office building that does NOT look like a hospital building in the area.

Weill Cornell Medicine/ NY Presbyterian Security will be monitoring all entrances to the large open main lobby 1st floor, and will request display of a picture ID.

Participants should mention to the guards they are attending the CLL Society Support Group meeting on the 2nd floor- Patient Resource Center & Library – (normally closed on Sunday, but we have permission to use it) and then go up the escalator (probably not moving on Sunday) or the elevator to 2nd floor – open central space. There are directional signs to the Myra Mahon Patient Resource Center.

RSVP to Nolan at 212-397-4822 or [e-mail] and provide your name and number of attendees.

Len will be facilitating this month while Nolan celebrates his wedding anniversary with his wife & key supporter.

Future meetings may include a break out session for care givers (September?), a talk by Dr. Nicole Lamanna (October?), and a visit by CLL Society founder Dr. Brian Koffman (November?)

We look forward to seeing you!

I'm on the west coast. Is there any possibilty the group's meeting can be streamed or otherwise accessed?

[lankisterguy Volunteer in reply to CLL23]

There are support groups in several West Coast cities- see the list below and choose one convenient to your location from the calendar. The specific rules for these meetings is that everything discussed is confidential and not disclosed outside the meeting room, so streaming or recording them is not permitted.

Locations Where New Groups May be Forming

There has been interest in forming new CLL-specific support groups in a number of cities. When interest is expressed, we create a survey to gather contact information and preferences regarding days/times/frequency of meetings. Once we have enough people interested, an identified facilitator and a location to meet, we will provide training for the facilitator(s) and ongoing mentoring to get the group started and keep it going. Click on your city to complete the interest survey.
