NVACP (Dutch Federation of Addison and Cushing Patients and CAH and Conn)

The association NVACP aims to bring in contact everybody who directly or indirectly suffers from Adrenal gland illnesses to provide them with information and to optimally serve their interests Adrenal gland illnesses include multiple diseases/ailments, that have to do with the adrenal glands, either directly or indirectly. Diseases such as Addison’s disease, Cushing’s Syndrome, CAH and Conn’s disease. In most cases Adrenal gland illnesses are chronic diseases, which means that healing will not, or only partially be possible. Helping and supporting each other using knowledge and experience can improve the quality of living and for that we offer peer contact and forums on our website. Furthermore, we offer information and support research in this field. On top of direct care of your interests as a patient, we also look at the illness-transcending aspects of chronic and rare diseases. Of course we do not only focus on the patient, but also his or her social environment. Aspects such as the effects the disease has on a partner, work and sports also receive attention
