OUR MISSION is to improve the quality of life of people who have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Through education and advocacy, we promote awareness and understanding, ensure access to treatment and support research that will lead to effective management and, ultimately, a cure.
August is Psoriasis Awareness Month. Each year, 1 in 5 people with psoriasis report being discriminated against at a public pool. This month is your chance to increase awareness about the disease and educate the public that psoriasis is not contagious. Order your free Psoriasis Awareness Month kit and help spread the word that pools are for recreation, not discrimination.
Together we can end the fear and open the pool.
The National Psoriasis Foundation thanks its corporate partners, Abbott, Amgen and Wyeth, Centocor, Inc., and Genentech for their support of National Psoriasis Awareness Month.
