G-PACT

G-PACT empowers individuals living with Gastroparesis and related conditions by providing reliable resources, supportive community, and opportunities to raise awareness. Through education, connection, and self-expression, we help patients explore unmet needs, share their stories, and work toward a better quality of life. G-PACT was founded on Aug. 23, 2001 by a number of people who have been affected by Gastroparesis or chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction in some manner. The officers know what it is like to deal with GP, CIPO, or CI the needs that patients have, and problems they encounter. That experience is what makes us so strong! We provide a network of unique resources for GP, CIPO, and CI patients, medical professionals, and the general population. All of our services are provided free of charge. We rely 100% on donations and grants. Our staff is fully voluntary and no one receives any benefits. This allows us to use 100% of all funding towards awareness, research, education, support programs, and operating expenses. We are motivated by our passion for a cure for all! Our struggles have helped us learn what resources are needed within this special population. Most of our programs were developed based on our personal experiences. Our personal understanding of what all aspects of battling these conditions feels like also helps us closely connect with patients. This also gives us a unique opportunity to develop programs based on suggestions by our population! We are continuing to expand into other areas to meet additional needs. We have a network of patients in all 50 states, DC, the territories, and over 60 different countries. Hope is our Panda mascot! Look up Panda's to find out why she is so appropriate!
