Supporting Patients
Our support groups relieve some of the
tremendous isolation and emotional burden that accompanies a life with Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
Advocating for Change
We empower the HS community to interact with payers, researchers, and their government to bring about the change needed to someday find a cure.
Raising Awareness
Raising awareness of Hidradenitis Suppurativa is vital in promoting compassion, understanding, and a correct, timely diagnosis.
