ThyCa Jersey Shore University Medical Center Support Group

Neptune, NJ

Meets: ThyCa Jersey Shore University Medical Center meets the first Monday of each even numbered month from 5:00 to 6:00 PM.

Due to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, we are exercising an abundance of caution for the well-being of our support group members. As such, we are canceling all scheduled support group meetings for the foreseeable future. Having said this, some support groups are holding a conference call in place of their canceled meeting.

Please take care of yourself. We suggest that you follow the precautions recommended by your local health agencies and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. https://www.cdc.gov/

Nothing discussed at a support group should be considered as a replacement for a doctor's care. We do not give medical advice. We do share support and our own experiences. We are each ultimately responsible for our own care.
