It’s been one year since UMass Chan Medical School launched the Duchenne Program at UMass Chan Medical School, an interdisciplinary program devoted to boys and young men with the most common and aggressive form of muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The Duchenne Program at UMass Chan Medical School celebrated its first anniversary in July, and according to its founding director, pediatric neurologist Dr. Brenda Wong, “It looks like we’ve kind of found our feet.”

Spent two 10-hour days at UMass Memorial’s Duchenne clinic…we feel so lucky to have Dr. Wong and her team in the Northeast!!! Everyone was amazing!
The Duchenne Program at UMass is gorgeous, incredibly organized, and 100% patient friendly. Grateful for Dr. Wong and her outstanding team!
We had a great visit with Dr. Wong and the rest of her team this week. It’s so cool to see a clinic just for our rare population. We are so lucky to have such a dedicated and proactive doctor leading the way!
We finally met the famous Dr. Wong! It was an intense and exhausting couple of days but she lives up to the hype. She is an absolute gift to the Duchenne community.
After two days of intense appointments at UMass, meetings with the dedicated and knowledgeable support staff and medical professionals on the team, and incredible recommendations made by all, I can honestly say that I feel that I am doing what is best for my son. It’s a good feeling when you know that your son will be well cared for and you know in your gut that you are doing what is right for him. Such a gift, indeed.
