HDSA is coordinating efforts to identify and locate HD families who have been displaced and/or affected by Hurricane Katrina, and help them receive appropriate medical care and support services. We request your help in this effort.

Please notify us of any HD patients/families you know who have been displaced or are in need of help

If you have a local center where displaced persons are being processed, please find out how you can contact the people managing intake to make them aware that we can help with medical and social resources for HD patients and families.

Distribute our email, Katrina@... and our number 1-800-345-HDSA (4372)  extension 26 to patients, families and medical personnel to request help or provide information.

Please forward any other ideas you have on how we can identify our families and help bring them relief for Fred Taubman (212 242 1968 ext 29 ftaubman@...), who is coordinating these efforts.

Thank you for your help. We hope that through these efforts we will help the HD patients and families affected by this tragedy.
