SPRING INTO ACTION! FOR A NATIONAL HS AWARENESS MONTH
ASK YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPS TO CO-SPONSOR H. RES. 1037
Registered voters in the United States, PLEASE ask your congressional representatives to support and co-sponsor House Resolution 1037. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Steve Kagen (Wisconsin) on March 11, 2008 is titled: Expressing the need for enhanced public awareness of Hidradenitis Suppurativa, and for the support of the designation of a National Hidradenitis Suppurativa Awareness Month. We need many, many congressional representatives to sign on in order for this to move forward. It just takes a few minutes! Just go HERE and choose your state and zip code (many districts need zip+4), and find your rep. You will either be directed to their website where you can look up the contact information, or a direct link to email them. You can also call them directly. Just ask them to co-sponsor H. RES. 1037, it is that simple. To read the complete Resolution, here is a LINK to the government site or a PDF to download to your computer.

HSF Newsletter Mailing List
Each time the HSF sends out a notification that about a new HSF Newsletter being available, a handful of subscribers are returned as undeliverable. This can happen for many reasons. Please re-subscribe if you are not receiving the notification, and make sure that info@hs-foundation is not set to spam. Our newsletter will switch to a quarterly publication beginning this year. Thank you!
