There are countless non-profit organizations out there that work tirelessly to improve the lives of those affected by medical conditions. It can be difficult to keep track of all of them, especially if you’re not familiar with the work they do.

Here, you will find information on the latest initiatives undertaken by various non-profit groups, as well as news and updates on the progress of medical research and advocacy. We hope this section will help raise awareness about the important work being done.
