The American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in December 2001 by a group of mothers of young children living with eosinophil-associated diseases. We are a patient advocacy group dedicated to improving the lives of those living with eosinophilic disorders. The future and long-term vision of APFED is to become an all-encompassing eosinophilic advocacy organization. With the exception of asthma and eczema, which are covered by several other nonprofit organizations, APFED hopes to represent all eosinophil-associated diseases disorders. By continuing to cultivate successful working relationships with physicians’ organizations we hope to bridge the gap between patient and doctor. This will lead to faster diagnosis, more support for research, new treatments, and one day, a cure.
