Partners for Understanding Pain

Partners for Understanding Pain is a consortium of organizations that touch the lives of people with chronic, acute, and cancer pain.

The partnership, spearheaded by the American Chronic Pain Association, will strive to create greater understanding among health care professionals, individuals and families who are struggling with pain management, the business community, legislators, and the general public that pain is a serious public health issue.

Through its members, each of whom brings its own perspective to the dialogue, Partners for Understanding Pain represents a comprehensive network of resources and knowledge about issues in pain management.

Partners for Understanding Pain is dedicated to building the understanding and support that can help people with chronic, acute and cancer pain lead better lives.
