About Us
Raising Awareness and Support for Amniotic Fluid Embolism
The Amniotic Fluid Embolism Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to identifying the cause, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of amniotic fluid embolism and bring our information and resources to healthcare providers and impacted families through our education and support programs. We also strive to be the light guiding those impacted by an AFE through their physical and emotional recovery as they navigate their way forward.
Our Work
The AFE Foundation provides educational resources and a global support network, aiming to assist in the physical and emotional recovery of those affected by AFE. We are recognized as the leading expert in AFE education and research and the largest support organization for impacted families and healthcare workers worldwide.
Who We Are
The Amniotic Fluid Embolism Foundation unites the voices of families, survivors, medical professionals and researchers to call for greater awareness and resources to reduce the threat of amniotic fluid embolism (AFE).
Our collective efforts have resulted in an internationally recognized research program on AFE, highly sought after educational programming for healthcare providers, and a worldwide network of support groups and resources for those impacted by an AFE.
Our Story
Before the AFE Foundation was founded, families and healthcare providers impacted by an AFE had nowhere to turn for information and support, left in the dark about their experience and how to move forward.
Since turning on our lights and shining our efforts into understanding this rare condition, we’ve helped tens of thousands of people gain knowledge, understanding, and support through some of their darkest days. We will continue to be the light as long as it takes to end AFE.
