Advocating for Patient-Centered, Data-Driven Policy
Helps drive more effective government policies by elevating the voice of the vitiligo community.
Finding Support Through Advocacy Organizations
Patient advocacy organizations play a virtual role in helping people with vitiligo live their best and fullest lives. We can help you find one or even start your own.
Each year in April, BUVSG members participate with The Coalition of Skin Diseases to advocate on Capitol Hill Day in Washington, DC, to further train and equip advocates to meet with their Members of Congress.
In September of each year, BUVSG members participate in Congressional Meetings with dermatologists at the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA) Capitol Hill Day with key Committee Members in the House and Senate to support various policy efforts.
