May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Awareness Month. There are 13 recognized types of EDS, and one type, Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (VEDS), dramatically increases the risk of life-threatening complications including aortic and arterial aneurysms and dissections. At the JRF, we are proud to support members of our community living with VEDS, as well as families who have lost loved ones to this condition.

Last week, The John Ritter Foundation joined renowned geneticist Dr. Dianna Milewicz for Cardiology Grand Rounds at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix. Grand Rounds is a morning educational conference where cardiologists, fellows, and medical teams come together to learn from leading experts and discuss advances in patient care.

Dr. Milewicz shared groundbreaking insights on the importance of identifying the genetic cause of aortic disease, highlighting how precision medicine can help personalize care, improve outcomes, and save lives for patients and families affected by thoracic aortic disease. JRF highlighted the work we funding in research, education, and advocacy. We are grateful to partner with leaders advancing research, education, and awareness in this critical field.
