Patient Organizations

Expression of Hope is brought to you by Genzyme in collaboration with patient organizations and societies from around the world. The list of names is growing as more and more groups are getting involved in Expression of Hope. Genzyme is proud to be affiliated with these fine organizations and salutes the important work they do.

If you are in a patient society supporting patients with an LSD and would like to get involved with Expression of Hope, please send us an email.

Because many lysosomal storage disorders are so rare, patients may often feel alone in their diagnosis. There are many organizations and societies that help bring patients together with others who have shared their experiences. In addition, they can provide educational and practical information and advocate on behalf of patients.

Genzyme does not endorse the organizations here and provides these links for informational purposes only.
