Advocacy Overview For so long, psoriasis was a 'silent' disease. Now, the voice of the psoriasis community is being heard in Congress and by health care policymakers. We are working to increase the government's investment in research toward a cure, educate decision-makers about psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and improve access to effective treatments. Our success is dependent upon the involvement of people like you.
