HS Connect was built by us, for us. We created this organization to empower others to share their stories, allow their voices to be heard, and ensure that they are not living in silence.

We know firsthand the toll this disease takes on one emotionally, physically, and mentally, and we love to encourage others in their journeys based on our experience and knowledge. Our goal is for HS to be as commonplace as any other disease, for those who suffer to stop living in shame and to support and provide resources for all who suffer. Bringing information, resources, and support to the HS Community, including those who treat our condition. We've created this all-encompassing platform to provide factual and research-driven information for everyone, from those new to HS to the most experienced HS patients. There's something for everyone here.

We see you. We get you. We got you.
