The FCSA is the brainchild of Mildred Velez who has been living with fibromyalgia since 2007. The organization is committed to introducing new approaches to care, dedicated care centers, professional training and education as well as a host of non-clinical direct services for people living fibromyalgia. Mrs. Velez, in partnership with a team of doctors, social workers and non-profit professionals has been working to design an organization that fills the gap in care that exists in the fibromyalgia care community.
"There are a handful organizations dedicated to fibromyalgia in the United States" said Mrs. Velez, President and Board Chair of the FCSA, she continued "some are focusing on research, others are focusing on education, some on support groups and some on a combination of all three which is great. I never set out to start my own organization; I was always interested in helping what was already in place. But over the past few months I took a real close look at what was in place and it occurred to me that there are some very critical things being done for other diseases that is are not being done for fibromyalgia."
