Patient-led approach

No one can identify what a patient needs most more than those personally impacted by the diseases. So, we find a variety of ways to invite patient voices 'to the table' to ensure we are addressing issues that matter most to them and to give them opportunities to be as involved in our programs as possible. In turn, our community can take pride in knowing they helped develop the programs and resources that ultimately can improve their lives and the lives of 450 million people worldwide!

Global Network philosophy

We collaborate with other organizations, health professionals, and other groups as necessary to make sure the work we do creates the most impact.

Who do we help?

We help those diagnosed, their support network, and the undiagnosed ("Mystery Patients")... because everyone is undiagnosed before they are diagnosed.
