Our Mission

To improve the lives of children and adults affected by PANS, PANDAS, and related encephalopathies.

Our Vision

We aspire to create a world where children and adults affected by PANS, PANDAS and related encephalopathies obtain a timely diagnosis from informed providers and receive effective, proven and affordable treatments and support in all areas of daily living, without discrimination. 

Who We Are

We are experienced leaders in the PANS advocacy community. We are parents, providers and experts in our field who believe collaboration and empowered action are the keys to the world we seek: one where no one suffers through PANS and immune-related encephalopathies without access to a knowledgeable provider, insurance coverage for standard-of-care treatments or the support that comes with public awareness.
