Neurofibromatosis Midwest is dedicated to the increasing number of men, women and children challenged by neurofibromatosis. We’ve been a nonprofit 501(c)3 since 1982, and we are determined to continue our work to educate, comfort, improve clinical care and fund research for treatments and a cure. We are staffed by people with a personal interest in NF, with real experience and a determination and motivation to use precious funds in an efficient manner.
Our service area includes Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and the eastern half of Missouri.
