MISSION STATEMENT
MISSION STATEMENT
The Chronic Illness Advocacy & Awareness Group, Inc. (CIAAG) is a national non-profit organization focused on the convergency of public health policy, research and its impact on individual health. We advocate for oversight, accountability and transparency for Academia, Non-Profit Organizations and Public-Private-Partnerships related to drug control and population health policy.
We consult with the public and private sector, providing both professional expertise and lived experience regarding the issues presented by the use of public, private-partnerships to develop solutions to complex societal problems that arose via the use of pragmatic trials and the biopsychosocial approach to managing population health.

THE LEADERS OF A NEW INDUSTRY
THE LEADERS OF A NEW INDUSTRY
Through identification and recognition of the current issues surrounding the healthcare landscape with the implementation of public, private-partnerships, CIAAG has identified and is leading an entire new industry built on the need for oversight, transparency and acknowledgement that all citizens are stakeholders and therefore, require representation.
CIAAG affected positive societal change by providing valuable insight via their participation as a subject matter expert in group meetings with the UNODC regarding the policy decisions being made at the global level and how they effect the individuals in the communities that we serve.
A global presence consisting of 30 coalition partners
representing 8,225,0788 individuals and 70,000 physicians.
Educational initiatives and events that focus on teaching the strategy that accompanies one’s approach to advocacy and the building blocks of how to approach advocacy through our #CIAAGAdvocacy Chats. These monthly chats have encouraged and increased community engagement and participant confidence; working to amplify our collective voice and increasing awareness amongst the general population.
Upon conducting meetings wtih congressional and senatorial offices we presented our research (Violation of A Nation). In response, the FDA provided a safety announcement to the medical community advising against the forced tapering of patients who use opioid pain medications for the treatment of pain/illness.

"Making people aware that chronic pain patients need pain relief and they are NOT the problem. Chronic pain patients are educated about usage of pain relief medications by their prescribing physician and teaching videos. Patients are regularly tested at random to make sure their levels of usage are in range.

and is not lumped in with the street addict who has caused this misconception."
