You are not alone
In 2005, Acromegaly Community was formed as an online support group for patients to discuss their issues with other patients. Today, we have over 2,800 patients and caretakers worldwide advocating for each other and for Acromegaly.
Our Mission
OUR MISSION is to provide an emotional and communal support network for people touched by Acromegaly. We offer a central location for medical information on issues including: surgery, medication, radiation, and post diagnosis support. Most importantly, we work to provide a network of emotional support for our Acromegaly patients, their friends and their family.
“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.”
— Margaret Thatcher
