The Vasculitis Foundation forms chapters to provide educational and emotional support to members of the Vasculitis Foundation who live in the Chapter area.

The Chapter is an opportunity for vasculitis patients to join together to talk about living and coping with vasculitis, learn from knowledgeable guest speakers, and network with each other.

Chapters are key to fulfilling the Vasculitis Foundation's mission of education, awareness, and support.

Chapters are usually run by its members, are free of charge, and meet at least twice a year. Each Chapter is led by a designated Chapter Leader.
