is an initiative started in 2019 to help medical professionals learn more about Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and related disorders, such as Mast Cell Activation, Dystonia, Autism, Dysautonomia, Gastroparesis, and others.
The phrase "Know EDS" was chosen because it is relevant, "punny," and an easy way to remember where to go to learn more.
