We encourage you to visit the international MITO websites listed below for more detailed and in-depth information about mitochondrial diseases.
While many of the issues our MITO communities face are the same at the local and national levels, MITO HOPE and HELP focuses our efforts on meeting the needs of our local MITO Community of Northeastern NY.
Below are more services we've come across that may be helpful in your search for resources.
