The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF) is a national non-profit foundation that has spent over 25 years building a network of top clinicians, hospitals and researchers dedicated to fighting mitochondrial disease. We are driven by a nationwide community of ambassadors solely focused on supporting patients and families affected by mitochondrial disease. Together, we are committed and energized to make a difference by funding the best science in the world and providing critical programs and services to the patient families we serve. Our mission is to promote research and education for the diagnosis, treatment and cure of mitochondrial disorders and to provide support to affected individuals and families.
