Mission
Patient Support Groups
Through our activities inspire and establish active patient support groups to connect physically and technologically for self renewal, individual support, social inclusion, and deep community connection.
Walk for Skin Health (WASH)
WASH is awareness and enlightenment campaigns of Skin conditions, appearance related concerns and their link to general health.
Share Your Story
As we work, our main goal is to understand the problem space from the point of view of the patients and the affected. Stories we share help inspire new thinking and possibilities.
Creative Lab
Our creative digital storytelling, productions and engaging App will get public’s attention, foster understanding, change beliefs, influence decisions positively and build trust between patients and their Dermatologists.
