Once again Mylan Specialty created a fantastic and educational event bringing together passionate individuals who take food allergies and anaphylaxis awareness to the next level! This two-day summit was held at The Strand Hotel in New York City where the food, service, and accommodations are top notch! Dinner was prepared by Executive Chef Kelvin Fernandez and was absolutely delicious! Photographs were taken by Noel Denis during our “school session” and a special visit from Shwen Gwee to teach us some much needed social media info. We all left the summit with more knowledge of food allergy and anaphylaxis medical research, epinephrine access at schools, social media, and best of all…supportive peers we can even call friends.
