Mission Statement
To passionately embrace, support, and improve the lives of patients and families affected by eosinophil-associated diseases through education and awareness, research, support, and advocacy.
About This Cause
The American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in December 2001 by a group of mothers of young children living with eosinophil-associated diseases. We are a patient advocacy group dedicated to improving the lives of those living with eosinophilic disorders. APFED implements a multifaceted approach focusing on: Education and Awareness Research Support Advocacy With education and awareness, accuracy of diagnosis improves, suffering decreases, a supportive community develops, and research funding grows. What We Do Create a credible source of information for physicians and patients. Reach out, find and support those who feel alone with their pain (patients and families). Unite the physician and patient communities in an effort to empower both sides with a better understanding of one another Teach the general public to understand what “eosinophilic” means to affected families Promote and support research into the cause and cure of eosinophil-associated diseases Primary Strategic Objectives Become the global comprehensive advocacy organization for eosinophil-associated diseases Increase representation of rare eosinophil-associated diseases Expand the scope and depth of research in eosinophil-associated diseases Where We Are Headed The future and long-term vision of APFED is to become an all-encompassing eosinophilic advocacy organization. By continuing to cultivate successful working relationships with physicians’ organizations we hope to bridge the gap between patient and doctor. This will lead to faster diagnosis, more support for research, new treatments, and one day, a cure.
