The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network Launches College Network




Until now, prospective college students were left on their own to research questions about food allergy management at each college or university. FAAN`s College Network, www.faancollegenetwork.org, serves as a clearinghouse of information enabling college-bound students to learn about different colleges` approaches to food allergy management.
They will also find contact information for people who can best answer questions about how food allergies are addressed at each college. Food allergy is a growing public health concern in the U.S., and teens are the highest risk group for fatal, food-induced anaphylaxis. “The FAAN College Network empowers prospective college students to manage their food allergies away from home,” said Julia Bradsher, CEO of FAAN.
The contacts in the FAAN College Network consist of Student Ambassadors, who are current college students with food allergies, and College Representatives, who work at a college or university and can help students manage their food allergies at their school.
