The Polycythemia Vera Community Action Committee of Schuylkill, Carbon and Luzerne Counties will have a workshop meeting this Thursday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. at the Hometown Fire Company in preparation for a support group and myeloproliferative disorder education summit in early 2010.

The focus of Thursday’s meeting will be to share ideas for what patients need in a support group.
