Los Angeles Dysautonomia Network

Dysautonomia can tear people’s lives apart – creating social isolation, stumping doctors, preventing patients from working, and draining patient resources. LADN serves as a vital community hub for dysautonomia patients, caregivers, and medical providers to source knowledge and strength together. Our Education and Healthcare Access Programs provide patients with the knowledge and the resources to access the healthcare they need and deserve.

Los Angeles Dysautonomia Network (LADN) helps patients with autonomic dysfunction overcome systemic medical and financial barriers to healthcare. Covid has caused the number of patients with dysautonomia in LA to skyrocket, leaving hundreds of thousands of patients struggling to get the care they require. LADN will improve their access to healthcare by educating providers and patients and by providing medical equipment to patients in need.

Many dysautonomia patients struggle to access the very doctors, medicines, and treatments that could help them combat their disabling illness because they are too ill to work and cannot afford the price of medical care. LADN's new financial support program will help provide access to adequate medical care through grants for dysautonomia patients to assist with healthcare costs. LADN's community support and educational offerings will continue to help educate patients and provide emotional support in the face of this difficult, complex illness.
