Working to support and educate those affected by acromegaly and their families.
About Us
Please note that due to coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic, our AGM in May 2020 has been postponed. Take care & stay safe everyone!
Acromegaly is a rare disorder that patients and their families often feel overwhelmed and isolated. It was due to those feelings that the New Zealand Acromegaly Society was formed in 2010.
We work to:
- Provide information and support to patients and families
- Organise social gatherings
- Organise educational seminars
- Regular newsletters
The response to this support group has been tremendous and we now have over 100 members from across New Zealand. We are officially registered as a Charitable Entity. Our registration number is CC46693. See our summary on the Charities Commission website for more details.
