The Power of Shared Connections
In celebration of our 40th anniversary, we have updated our logo to reflect the power of the shared connections we have in the FIRST community.
With 40 years of community building to advance treatments and research of ichthyosis and related skin types, we have much to celebrate. At FIRST, each member is surrounded and supported by our community. From advice between parents, guidance from our research leaders, to welcoming new friends to FIRST, our community is resilient and purposeful. One is never alone.
Making connections and supporting individuals with ichthyosis and related skin types is at the core of everything we do. We are proud to celebrate this important milestone with you.
