The PFIC Newsroom

Every story we have to tell brings us one step closer to finding more treatment options for PFIC. Whether we are raising disease awareness, advocating for our families, inspiring hope or coming together at an event, PFIC families are working tirelessly to make themselves known. The PFIC Newsroom page highlights stories that have been published outside of the PFIC Network. If you have been in the news or media and would like your story to be featured on this page, please contact us.

Note: PFIC Newsroom stories are not endorsements or prescriptions of any treatment either available or in development. If you are interested in learning more about if treatment options are the right choice for you or your child, please discuss with your doctor.
