Looking for better ways to work with your HS patients? We’ve got them right here. This week, we’re joined by Brindley Brooks, founder of HS Connect, as she offers her own experience with HS, debunks one-size-fits-all myths of dieting and clothing, and provides tips on working with HS patients.

After not telling anyone about her HS diagnosis for 27+ years, Brindley Brooks started her HS surgery journey and founded HS Connect. Her passion is to help everyone find their voice and not carry the shame and stigma alone that comes with this diagnosis.

HS Connect is a patient-led non-profit organization committed to connecting Hidradenitis Suppurativa patients, families, and the medical community with resources, support, and solutions, including HS support groups.
