Membership


PDSA Members are an engaged, active community of patients, caregivers, family members, friends, and clinicians passionate about raising awareness, progressing research, and advancing better outcomes for people living with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Members are vital partners in driving PDSA’s mission and in sustaining life-altering resources for patients and caregivers as they navigate the ITP journey – wherever they are in their diagnosis.
