In may, I was invited by Janssen Biotech, a Johnson and Johnson company, to attend Digestive Disease Week 2014 in Chicago and be a part of the IBDSocialCircle. The IBD Social Circle comprises of the leading IBD advocates Marisa Lauren Troy of JournalingIBD.org, Sara Ringer of InflamedandUntamed.com, Megan Starshak and Andrea Meyers of The Great Bowel Movement, Amber Tresca of About.com, and Ryan Stevens of CrohnsGuy.com
The purpose of the IBD Social Circle is to bridge the gap between IBD patients, medical professionals like gastroenterologist, and Janssen.
The video you are about to see was made while attending Digestive Disease Week in Chicago and gives you an insight on what we are trying to do. If you have any questions or feedback on this video I would love to hear from you.
