Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Cancer, Health

Mission: The Histiocytosis Association of America is an international partnership of parents, patients, physicians and friends bound together by their interest and attachment to histiocytic disorders. In an effort to compensate for the shortage of information on the disorders and the small number of individuals and families dealing with them the Association provides a variety of educational and emotional support programs to its members, as well as other interested parties. In addition, the Association promotes scientific and medical investigation into histiocytic disorders through its research program with the aim of establishing better treatments, a cure, and prevention of the diseases.

Our son was diagnosed with Histiocytosis when he was six. We had never heard of this and we were looking for a way to hear the stories of others in our same situation. We are grateful to have the Histiocytosis Association and be able to connect with other families.

It was only through the direction and support of the Histiocytosis Association that I found out what my daughter had. That was in 1992. I am forever indebted to this valuable organization and to the Founders, Jeff and Sally Toughill.

I don't have Histio, but I've now met many people who do or know someone who does, and they all have said how important and integral having the Histiocytosis Association involved in their journey was the best thing that has happened to them.

I am an LCH survivor; the Association was there for my family during the difficulty of diagnosis and beyond. They connected us with physicians who helped saved my life with the latest treatment. I also appreciate all the resources they continue to share out, including the webinars and podcast, so that I can stay informed of the latest changes and research.

I've had the pleasure of working with this amazing organization for the past several years. What is most impressive about Histiocytosis Association is first of all their amazing presence in the community and their ability to provide a vital service to those in need. But also the exemplary individuals that work at this organization. Founder Jeffrey Toughill, Executive Director Deanna Fournier, Kristen Nesensohn, and Danielle Hellick along with the rest of the team are second to none. This is an organization that truly makes me smile!
