Halunen Law’s Emily Havrilak Represented Turner Syndrome Society of the U.S. at International Conference
Emily Havrilak is an integral member of the Halunen Law staff. Outside of her work with us, she serves as chair of the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States and recently went to Vienna to represent the organization at the International Coalition of Organizations Supporting Endocrine Patients (ICOSEP) meeting.
“I was pleased to represent the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States at this important conference,” said Emily. “Several rare diseases affect children’s growth. ICOSEP’s message is simple; if a child is not developing as they should, they likely need medical attention. We bring greater awareness to growth health in the hope a diagnosis and care come as soon as possible if needed.”
Halunen Law is proud of Emily’s long-standing commitment to the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States, and its important, ongoing work.
