Congenital Hyperinsulinism International (CHI) is happy to announce that our new brochure on congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is hot off the presses and ready to be distributed. In the brochure we describe the disorder, explain what CHI is all about, and suggest ways for all HI families to get involved in raising HI awareness, HI advocacy, and HI support and education.
We are hoping that all people who have a connection to HI through a family member, friend, or professional connection will join us in distributing these brochures. By sharing them in a targeted fashion to medical personnel who, with the proper knowledge, will be able to identify the signs and symptoms of HI, we believe that more and more cases will be identified in a timely manner before prolonged hypoglycemia, which can cause lasting neurological damage, occurs. We truly need an army of people to share this brochure with local pediatricians, neonatologists, pediatric neurologists, and even infant childcare specialists.
The brochure is also of value to all who have a connection to someone with HI. It contains valuable information about HI and it provides an opportunity for those in our larger circle of friends, relatives, and colleagues to get involved and support our families in meaningful ways.
You can find the brochure on our website at: https://congenitalhi.org/documents.php. You can also contact us via phone, email or regular mail, and we will be very happy to mail you copies of the brochure to share with your communities. This is a vital way to get the word out. We also know how important it is to translate the brochure into other languages. We will have a French copy very soon and it will also be on the website and available for distribution. Our goal is to have the brochure translated into more languages. Please contact us if you have an interest in helping us to translate the brochure into language.
