****G-PACT Mission Statement****

G-PACT is dedicated to providing assistance to patients and families affected by gastroparesis in order to improve quality of life and decrease fears surrounding this condition. We aim to provide hope to those who have lost it, support to those who need it, and knowledge to those who do not understand this condition.

G-PACT has a commitment to all gastroparesis patients and we strive our best to work with all patients regardless of ability to pay. Most programs implemented by G-PACT are free of charge. G-PACT is operated by a group of people from a variety of backgrounds. Most of the G-PACT officers, directors, and volunteers are gastroparesis patients seeking a better future and hope for everyone afflicted with this condition. Others who do not have gastroparesis are friends and family members acting on behalf of their loved ones.

G-PACT in no way discriminates against anyone on the basis of age, sex, religion, race, or financial status. We do our best to provide services to as many people as possible who seek our assistance. Ultimately, it is our goal that through the efforts of G-PACT and cooperation from doctors, researchers, and patients that we will be able to eventually defeat this debilitating condition for everyone who suffers from it.
