NEVUS OUTREACH INC
The Association for Large Nevi and Related Disorders
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
People born with a rare skin condition often feel alone. Doctors may not know what it is. Parents want to connect with other parents to ask questions and to see others who are facing the same challenges. Nevus Outreach deals with large congenital melanocytic nevi. Nevus Outreach is dedicated to bringing awareness, providing support, and finding cures for people affected by congenital melanocytic nevi and related disorders. Founded in 1997 by three families of people with giant nevi, Nevus Outreach has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of people with large nevi. The Board of Directors are located throughout the USA. Nevus Outreach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation headquartered in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
