Welcome To Our VFS Support Group Page

Over the years we have been asked if there are any support groups for people suffering with Valley Fever. We are very glad and proud to announce that we now have set up Valley Fever Survivor Support Groups.

Some of our goals for the VFS Support Groups are to help people with Valley Fever support one another, promote the relevant information that will ensure public awareness for this disease, and support funding for a cure and vaccine for Valley Fever.

Our first VFS Support Group is located in the Phoenix/Glendale area of Arizona. We have since added the Tucson, Arizona chapter. This page will be updated as new volunteers help us form more VFS Support Group Chapters.

Please note: For any questions or information on support groups or Valley Fever in general, please contact Sharon Filip, VFS founder, at voiceforaction@valleyfeversurvivor.com. If you have questions because you have Valley Fever yourself, please fill out the Valley Fever Survivor Questionnaire. Having the basic information about your case from the questionnaire helps us so we can be better informed to answer your questions properly.

Arizona's Northwest Valley Chapter
Due to illness, our previous Northwest Valley chapter director had to resign. If you are interested in becoming a director for Sun City West, Surprise, or other nearby areas, like helping people, and want others who have Valley Fever to benefit from your support, please contact us at voiceforaction@valleyfeversurvivor.com
