The Mission of the Allergy Advocacy Association
The Allergy Advocacy Association is dedicated to helping in the prevention of anaphylaxis thru AWARENESS, ALERTNESS & ACTION.
- The mission of our association is to help inform, educate and raise awareness of the public at large and at-risk individuals to allergies and anaphylaxis.
- Anaphylaxis is a potentially dangerous allergic reaction that might threaten a person’s life. Anyone can become a victim of anaphylaxis after they have been exposed once before to any particular allergen. Any subsequent exposure can be dangerous.
- Our association will act as a web-based clearing-house for information on the dangers of untreated allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock.
- We will act as an open public forum for new ideas and the latest innovations for treatment of these illnesses.
- We will seek a leadership role in shaping the direction of public advocacy on related issues and initiatives in the fields of medicine, treatment and legislation.
Our vision?
Based in Rochester, New York, the Allergy Advocacy Association was founded as a non-profit organization to help educate people at the local level about this growing public health concern. We provide a variety of services including informational booths at health fairs and instructional speakers and materials to groups large and small.
