Living with an illness like POTS can be very difficult for so many reasons and in many different ways. Whether it is a lack of understanding, a lack of awareness, delays in diagnoses, debilitating symptoms, and/or significant loss, POTS and other co-occurring conditions can leave many feeling alone and isolated. Our goal as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization is to provide the POTS and chronic illness community with support, empowerment, and compassion, while pouring as much love into this community as possible. We don’t want any individual with POTS or other co-occurring conditions seen in our community to feel their voice doesn’t matter. We will do everything that we possibly can, within our power, to help each and every individual feel hopeful, optimistic, supported, validated, heard, seen, valued, loved, respected, and empowered.

Mission Statement: We strive to be a voice of hope and source of community for those navigating postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and co-occurring conditions. Our mission is to increase awareness, empowerment, support, and education for individuals who are diagnosed, in addition to increasing awareness and education within the medical community. We don’t want anyone with POTS or other co-occurring conditions to feel isolated or alone.
