IBD Connect With Lisa Fournier

About IBD

A diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, IBD) affects the entire family. When it's a child that's diagnosed, it changes so many things and brings a host of challenges. Families experience many unmet needs related to IBD. My guest is Lisa Fournier of IBD Connect. Lisa is the mother of two children who live with IBD. Her experiences in helping them manage IBD at different stages in life compelled her to be a support for others. She worked with her local hospital to start a support group and eventually founded IBD Connect. Learn about the programs IBD Connect offers and how the community can support their important mission.
