Hope on the Horizon Research

The American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in December 2001 by a group of mothers of young children living with eosinophil-associated diseases. We are a patient advocacy group dedicated to improving the lives of those living with eosinophilic disorders.

Mission Statement:

APFED is dedicated to preventing and curing eosinophil-associated diseases while enhancing the quality of life for patients and families. We achieve this by passionately embracing, supporting, and advancing education, awareness, research, advocacy, and support initiatives for those affected.

APFED implements a multifaceted approach focusing on:

• Education and Awareness
• Research
• Support
• Advocacy

With education and awareness, accuracy of diagnosis improves, suffering decreases, a supportive community develops, and research funding grows.

What We Do

• Create a credible source of information for physicians and patients.
• Reach out, find and support those who feel alone with their pain (patients and families).
• Unite the physician and patient communities in an effort to empower both sides with a better understanding of one another
• Teach the general public to understand what “eosinophilic” means to affected families
• Promote and support research into the cause and cure of eosinophil-associated diseases
