Los Angeles Dysautonomia Network (LADN) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals impacted by dysautonomia through community, education, and financial support.

This is LADN's first year as a registered nonprofit organization, and we are so proud of all we have accomplished this year! We are thrilled to have expanded our programing beyond a monthly dysautonomia support group to hosting wellness workshops, social events, and a disability-themed book club and launching a grant program to help patients with medical expenses. Our membership has grown tremendously, and given that an estimated 79% of Long COVID patients have dysautonomia, it is clear that the need within the dysautonomia community is big-- and growing.

LADN History:

LADN's monthly support group has been meeting since February 2018 and has grown into a supportive community of over 190 people impacted by dysautonomia across LA county and the greater California area. LADN registered as a 501c3 nonprofit organization in February of 2023. Over the years, we have expanded to include guest speakers, educational and wellness workshops and resources, a peer networking program, and social events. In October of 2023, LADN launched it's first grant program to support patients in need with dysautonomia-related healthcare costs.

LADN is run by volunteer Co-Executive Directors & Co-Founders Emily Suñez and Sally Krueger-Wyman, who live with dysautonomia. We know firsthand how challenging a dysautonomia diagnosis can be, as well as how helpful and validating it is to be part of a dysautonomia community.

LADN works to improve the lives of people with POTS and other forms of dysautonomia in California through community, education, and financial support. We welcome those living with all forms of dysautonomia, as well as their care team, to join the Los Angeles Dysautonomia Network.

The founding board members of LADN are: Sally Krueger-Wyman; Emily Suñez; Barbie Faze; Nancee Jaffe, MS, RDN; Michael Osborn; Lindsey Wyman, JD, MPP; and Lori Wynstock, MD. Frank Suñez is secretary and treasurer.
