About us
Who we are
Our Mission
The Ehlers-Danlos Society is a global community of inidivuals, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and supporters, dedicated to saving and improving the lives of those affected by the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), hypermobility spectrum disoders (HSD), and related conditions.
We are proudly working to provide global learning conferences, collaborative research and education initiatives, awareness campaigns, advocacy, community-building, and care for the EDS and HSD population: Giving HOPE to all those whose lives are affected by EDS and HSD.
What We Do
Our goals are world-wide awareness—and a better quality of life for all who suffer from these conditions. Research is at the center of what we do, so that one day we will have a cure. Our strength begins with hope.
Many around the world face a diagnostic odyssey: years, sometimes lifetimes, fighting for recognition, diagnosis, and care. The Ehlers-Danlos Society is working towards a time when geography and wealth no longer determine your quality of life.
Education is needed to advance early diagnosis and intervention—and post-diagnosis, patients urgently need support and guidance. We want to give hope to all those living with the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and hypermobility spectrum disorders.
