Mission and Objectives

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.

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

APFED’s vision is the development of a cure while improving the quality of life for those suffering with eosinophil-associated diseases.
