HypoPara Unscripted brings experts and patients together for meaningful, honest, candid conversations about living with hypoparathroidism, a rare condition of the parathyroid glands (4 tiny endocrine glands in the neck) which make a hormone that regulates calcuim and phosphorus levels in the blood.
