ACDHO - groups / organizations that truly help and support CDH families and the CDH Community

ACDHO - The Alliance of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Organizations
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/acdho/

Alliance of many CDH Organizations supporting families and research of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. This listserv is for organization founders, presidents and CEO's to keep each other abreast of research studies, new procedures, and organization problems. By working together as a team we can support each other, and the babies and families, in the fight against CDH.

These are the CDH organizations that truly support these babies and work together. We are a large Global CDH community working to increase research, make sure that all families have information and support and protect CDH awareness so that it belongs to all.

Each organization in ACDHO is equal, there are no leaders. Organizations / groups / sites invited into ACHO have shown high integrity in helping CDH families, offer research or support for CDH and a clear desire to work with the entire CDH community. Invitations are by a majority vote to secure that ACDHO goals remain positive, that the group works well together and that ACDHO is a safe environment to work together to help CDH families.

This listserv / alliance is *not* for individual CDH parents, survivors, etc. Please join the various groups and organizations for CDH information, support, research and awareness that offer services at the member level for CDH families.
