Look for a Zoom sign-up in October!

Birdshot Day

​

In 2019, Christine Griffith 

hosted a Birdshot Day in Philadelphia. It was an amazing gathering of birdies, medical professionals and tech reps, and afterwards, several birdies were inspired enough to establish BUSNA!

We hope that, when Covid-19 calms down, we'll meet for another day of educational forums and comradery. This year we'll host a few virtual educational events. Fingers crossed for an in-person Birdshot Day in 2023!
