Support
Vasculitis represents a family of rare diseases and can affect people of all ages. Although the diseases share many of the same symptoms and treatment courses, each is different and patients must learn as much as possible about their individual disease.
The Vasculitis Foundation has developed this resource to assist patients, family members and medical professionals in learning about vasculitis. The VF educates its patients, families and medical professionals about vasculitis through its website, bimonthly newsletter, information packets, 800 telephone number and symposia.
The VF also has a network of national and international contacts, chapters and support groups that meet on a quarterly or semi-annual basis.
