Who We Are
OHF is a partner, an alliance and a movement. We bring together people living with hyperoxaluria, families, care partners, scientists, doctors, advocates, donors and volunteers to join forces to improve lives and advance towards a cure.
Since 1989, we’ve made tangible progress on all fronts, providing hope, energizing science to help save lives. Today, we continue to:
- Partner with the scientific community to fund game-changing research that provides better outcomes
- Include the patient voice every step of the way
- Convene the best minds from around the world to find new approaches that enhance care and move us closer to a cure
We will not stop until a cure is found.
