The Nancy and Bill Norton Patient Education Series (NES) launched in 2020. The NES program, named for our founders Nancy and Bill Norton, is a tribute to the tremendous work they have done for the GI community. This multi-media educational program is designed to equip patients with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) illness with education and resources to help them navigate life. Each meeting will include a multitude of activities, such as lectures, Q&A panels, patient stories, lifestyle presentations, hands-on workshops and networking opportunities.
