ABOUT US
Why the HFSN?
The HFSN takes the combined experiences of past and present families of children with HME and assimilates and condenses the knowledge and access to resources they have gained in their individual journeys for sharing with not only each other, but all future HME families so that their journeys may be less burdensome and more hopeful from the outset. The intent is to provide new families with educational, medical and supportive type resources, as well as stories of hope and perseverance, in one easy to navigate location. The HFSN also serves to link all families, old and new, together for the purpose of sharing ideas, challenges, successes and general peer-to-peer support. Please join us. We would love to have you!
Our Mission
The mission of the HFSN is to empower families to better and more efficiently make informed decisions regarding their child's total care by providing up to date information on medical centers, related medical issues, current research and best practices regarding surgery, therapy and general care, links to valuable local and national resources, and connections with other families for valuable peer-to-peer support. Through these resources and connections, we strive to provide the hope, support and encouragement that families really need on this journey called HME.
