The mission of the Chion Foundation is to improve the quality of lives of families touched by Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) and other rare diseases. We will do this through identifying new drugs, funding research into the safety and efficacy of those drugs, and facilitating patient access to new drugs. We acknowledge that, in some cases, pharmacological solutions may not be sufficient to relieve all disease burden. In those situations, the Chion Foundation will strive to provide housing and financial relief to individuals whose lives are affected by a rare disease. http://www.chionfoundation.org/
