Mission Statement

Serving Pacific Northwest children diagnosed with PANDAS/PANS/AE and their families. Committed to raising awareness, providing education and resources, advocating for legislative changes and supporting local research.

About This Cause

The founders of Northwest PANDAS/PANS Network (“NWPPN”) came together through a support group for PANDAS parents and were determined to create change for PANDAS/PANS/AE families living in the Northwest. Our mission is threefold: * To raise awareness about this devastating disorder. * To help families obtain appropriate and thorough care for their children. * To influence legislators to ensure that PANDAS/PANS/AE treatment is covered by insurers. We are dedicated to getting PANDAS/PANS/AE the recognition it needs and ensuring that children suffering from this disorder receive the care they deserve. This means we need more PANDAS/PANS/AE providers in the Northwest. We need physicians who are curious about our children and compelled to educate themselves on this disorder. We need to ensure that these providers are supported and protected so they can continue to care for our children. We need hospitals that support PANDAS/PANS/AE children and their families. We need our academic medical institutions to lead research on PANDAS/PANS/AE. Last, but not least, we need more funding for PANDAS/PANS/AE.
