    Our Partners

    In addition to supporting patients with hypophosphatasia (HPP), part of our mission is to look for synergies with other organizations to ensure that the needs of our patient community are met. Many issues are common among other rare diseases, such as insurance denials and access issues, which can be more effectively addressed by coming together with other non-profits to amplify our voices.

    Some of these groups we frequently partner with are listed below. We encourage you to learn more about our partners and how they can support you and your family. Together, we can join others to help amplify the public health issues we face as a rare community.
