Overview

Mission

We empower individuals with Hidradenitis Suppurativa HS inflammatory diseases to reclaim their lives through holistic resources personalized care that address physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual challenges. Committed to health equity and policy reform, we advocate for accessible and inclusive care while fostering community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Summits Reclaim Hidradenitis Suppurativa HS Summit is a patient-centered event created to educate, advocate for, and heal patients through a series of sessions led by top HS specialists, influencers, and somatic practitioners. What started as a virtual event has now evolved into a three-day in-person/ virtual hybrid summit, providing a safe and supportive space for individuals with HS and other inflammatory diseases to learn, heal, and grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. This summit empowers participants to better understand their condition, its causes, and potential short - and long-term solutions. It fosters connections with HS specialists and other HS Warriors, making expert care more accessible and combating the isolation and shame often felt by those living with HS. Through deep knowledge and lived experience of both scientific and patient perspectives, we aim to show the HS community that they deserve to feel supported, understood, and valued as patients and as people.
