ADVOCACY IN ACTION
Working Together to Create Change
Advocacy is at the heart of IAHSN's mission. We are committed to improving the lives of people living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) by advancing policies, raising awareness, and promoting equitable access to timely diagnosis, quality care, and effective treatment.
IAHSN is proud to collaborate with national organizations, healthcare professionals, patient advocates, and community partners to ensure the voices of people living with HS are heard where decisions are made.
As a member of the HS Coalition, IAHSN works alongside other organizations to advance advocacy efforts that improve care and outcomes for the HS community. We also partner with the Coalition of Skin Diseases (CSD) to support initiatives that strengthen public policy, increase awareness, and improve access to care for people living with skin diseases.
Each year, IAHSN participates in Capitol Hill Advocacy Day, meeting with members of Congress and their staff to educate policymakers about the challenges of living with HS and advocate for policies that support research, access to care, and patient-centered solutions.
Whether you're living with HS, caring for someone who is, or simply want to make a difference, there are many ways to get involved. Together, we can raise awareness, influence policy, and create lasting change for the HS community.
Your voice matters. Together, we can make an impact.
