Meets: |
ThyCa Long Island meets the second Sunday of each month, except May, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern Time. Once in-person meetings resume, please call to confirm meetings, especially if you drive a long distance. See Special Events below for information about our guest speaker on November 13. ThyCa remains cautious due to the evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation. We do expect some support group meeting sites to begin opening for in-person meetings. We realize not all locations will open for the foreseeable future. As such, ThyCa will continue to hold virtual meetings. We encourage all support group members to be careful and stay safe. 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/ ThyCa Long Island holds FREE virtual meetings on the Zoom platform as shown at our regular time, 1:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern Time. Members of our group or others are welcome. Please e-mail our group facilitator at longisland-ny@thyca.org for connection info. We will continue to meet online until the shelter-in-place order has been lifted and ThyCa approves a return to in-person meetings. We look forward to seeing you there. |

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.
