There are countless non-profit organizations out there that work tirelessly to improve the lives of those affected by medical conditions.

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.
