Established in 1992, National Fibromyalgia Partnership (NFP) is an incorporated 501(c)(3) non-profit, educational organization with a Board of Directors and a distinguished Medical Advisory Board. Today, the NFP has members across the United States and Canada and on nearly every continent. In addition to its membership, it has served many thousands of patients, medical professionals, and members of the public through its publications, services, and website.           

Thanks to the generous support of many medical experts and the National Institutes of Health, the NFP has been able to offer quality educational materials and speaker presentations on fibromyalgia and related conditions since its inception. Its best known publications are its FM Monograph (now available in three languages) and its quarterly journal, Fibromyalgia Frontiers. The organization has distinguished itself through the comprehensive, medically accurate information it offers and the unique vision with which it conceives new programs, products, and services to meet public needs. The NFP accepts no paid advertisements and is supported almost entirely by the dues and donations received from its members. This allows us to provide objective, uncensored information that is pertinent to you!

 

Mission Statement

Our Mission is to make medically-accurate, quality resource information on fibromyalgia (FM) available to our membership, health care professionals, and the community-at-large.  

Our Goal is to provide informational tools so as to promote the timely and appropriate diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia.

 

Our Objectives:

• To disseminate up-to-date, accurate information concerning the etiology, pathophysiology, and management of FM;

• To foster public awareness about FM and its legitimacy as a verifiable and treatable condition;

• To track and report on new medical research related to FM and associated conditions;

• To provide informational materials, technical support, and other appropriate assistance to health organizations which are concerned, either directly or indirectly, with FM education, treatment, or research;

• To furnish adjunct resource information (i.e., availability of self-help, legal, or financial  assistance organizations) which can assist patients and caregivers with FM management; and      

• To monitor and support legislative activities which have a bearing on FM research and treatment as permitted by our designation as a charitable organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
