Missouri was one of the first states in the nation to protect a patient’s right to access future stem cell therapies -- and we remain the state with the strongest protections!

That’s why we’re hosting Hope Summit 2010 on Jan. 23 in St. Louis -- to build on Missouri’s reputation as a leader in stem cell research and to discuss the potential for cures for our sick and injured loved ones. Download a flyer. 

The Hope Summit gives Missouri’s stem cell advocates –- patients, experts and others –- a forum to discuss this promising research, its impact on a healthier tomorrow and ways each of us can better show our support.

Hope Summit 2010 is the first event of its kind in Missouri –- a conference for and by stem cell advocates like you! Register now.
