About Us>>Whom We Serve

CARES Foundation reaches out to families and individuals with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), an orphan condition that is historically under served, supported and funded. We also strive to increase the awareness of CAH within the healthcare community.

Because the disorder can be so rare, there are few CAH specialists and many medical professionals who are not even familiar with the general description of the disorder. CAH patients often go undiagnosed or suffer from inadequate or outdated care. As a result, affected families and individuals struggle for access to specialists, understanding of the disorder, and support.
