Medical providers For your patients As your partner in treatment, the National Psoriasis Foundation provides your patients with education, support and opportunities for involvement in the psoriasis community. Our studies show that patients who are educated about their disease and more involved with their treatment program have greater overall satisfaction. Our programs are designed to complement your medical care and help complete the whole spectrum of treatment. Professional member Atul Deodhar, M.D., M.R.C.P., of Oregon Health and Science University, examines a psoriasis patient.

"Before I found out about the Psoriasis Foundation, I thought I was the only person in the world with this horrible disease. I didn't want to leave my house, socialize with anyone, or show any of my skin. After joining the Psoriasis Foundation, I met others like myself. I still have psoriasis but now I'm not alone. That made all the difference. Thank you, National Psoriasis Foundation!" - Psoriasis Foundation member, 2006
