The Pancreatitis Association, Inc. was established, August 1999, to provide health related educational services to persons whose lives have been affected by pancreatitis. This discussion board is one of the ways for community outreach.

Pancreatitis is a catastrophic, progressive, disabling, deteriorating, and debilitating disease. Care requires the skills and expertise of an interdisciplinary healthcare team, often under the auspices, direction, or consultation of a pancreatologist. The Pancreatitis Association, Inc. can neither offer medical advice nor substitute for this important relationship with your health care provider.

The Pancreatitis Association, Inc. is a professional organization with high standards. The discussion board is held to those standards. The written word is powerful. For some, this may be the only contact they have with some one else all week. Let your posts show respect, dignity, understanding, acceptance, compassion and love.

Offensive, hostile, or profane language, to each other, doctors, or hospitals, is neither acceptable, nor congruent with our mission. Posts that do not comply will be deleted. Continued noncompliance will result in post moderation.

Copyright law prohibits the posting of, or cutting and pasting of, other web pages to the discussion board or in your posts. Members are prohibited from posting site information for personal web pages, blogs or other Internet groups.
