SERVICES
The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association of Colorado (PWSACO) is committed to improving the quality of life and the life expectancy of those affected by Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), by providing emotional support, social services or care for individuals with PWS. We will work to increase awareness of PWS within society and the medical community, and will actively support research directed at improving diagnosis, quality of life, and most importantly, finding a cure.
Family Support
We assist families with grants to cover costs of medical
treatments, travel to conferences, social work, etc.
Prader-Willi Clinic
We provide funds and volunteers for the PWS Multidisciplinary Clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Colorado
Research
We are dedicated to support the research projects through the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research
Long Term Care
One of our current goals at PWSACO is to help improve long term care for PWS adults in Colorado.
Advocacy
To ensure individuals with PWS and disability issues are
represented to the state, federal and local governments,
including school systems. Recently we had a great victory with the State of Colorado recognizing PWS as a disability and consequently ensuring families receive adequate support.
