Histio Educational Opportunities
One of the primary goals of the Histiocytosis Association is to provide the Histio Community with information that can help you better understand histiocytic disorders, their diagnosis, treaments and possible long-term effects.
Beyond the Diagnosis Podcast
The Beyond the Diagnosis podcast was created to give patients, families, caregivers and other members of the Histio Community the opportunity to have access to another educational resource to help you on your histio journey. This podcast provides an additional platform by which you can consume information while on the go or if you're unable to remain in front of a computer for an extended period of time.
Our vision for the Beyond the Diagnosis podcast is to extend our reach farther and wider and be able to get important, timely, and relevant health and lifestyle information to the Histio Community. We strive to explore topics that are “beyond the diagnosis,” or on the outer edge of what one would expect to hear from a rare disease podcast. We want to answer the lifestyle and overall health questions that you have - and the ones you didn’t know you had.
Tune-in with our Beyond the Diagnosis host, Kathy, and special guests! Listen below!

Dr. Carl Allen, MD, PhD
Dr. Allen discusses the role of the Histiocyte Society Scientific Committee in the Histiocytosis Association's competitive grant application process. Dr. Allen also discusses the grading criteria and the importance of this type of funding process.
Regional Meetings
The rarity of histiocytic disorders makes it difficult for patients and families to have the opportunity to meet and share with others who understand what they are going through. It is common for patients and families to feel alone and hopeless as they face the devastating effects of histiocytic disorders. Regional Meetings offer the opportunity to learn the latest information about histiocytic disorders through a presentation from experts and to connect with other patients and families in your region. The informal atmosphere invites the sharing of personal experiences and the offering of emotional comfort and moral support.
Our in-person regional meetings are temporarily postponed until further notice to protect the safety of all involved. We look forward to gathering together in-person again in the future! In the meantime, we have periodic virtual webinar opportunities to attend live and view on-demand in our Webinars section above.
Benefits of Participating:
- Feel less lonely, isolated or judged
- Gain a sense of empowerment
- Improve your coping skills
- Talk openly and honestly about feelings
- Reduce distress, depression or anxiety
- Develop a clearer understanding of what to expect with your situation
- Get practical information about treatment options
- Learn about better patient care
- Improve caregiver wellness
