About HS Coalition

Why we Exist

To transform the HS landscape by promoting policies that can improve the lives of individuals living with HS.

To do that, we seek to bring together the best minds, research, and policies to drive awareness, address disparities, and improve outcomes for all impacted by HS. Through our efforts, we want to increase understanding, improve care, and enhance research funding to counter the physical and mental impacts of the disease.
