Global Vitiligo Foundation – Community (GVFC)

About:

Formerly known as the Global Vitiligo Support Community (GVSC), the Global Vitiligo Foundation Community (GVFC) is the patient support section of the GVF.  The GVFC is a national and international team of persons with vitiligo, support groups and physicians dedicated to creating a culture of collaboration and connection.

Purpose:

1. Serve as a forum for information-sharing and collaboration on mutually beneficial activities for local, regional, national and international vitiligo support organizations.
2. Serve as a conduit between the vitiligo patient and the other committees of the GVF.
3. Empower individuals with vitiligo by providing them with resources to manage the physical and psychosocial effects of vitiligo today.
4. Provide a vehicle through which vitiligo patients can help support the development of treatments and, ultimately, a cure for vitiligo in the future.
