We are the University of Pennsylvania's student-led chapter of the Invizibles Organization! We help advocate and raise awareness for invisible illness through community-wide events and outreach. We aim to have a holisitc approach to invisible illness, highlighting both factual information and personal experience.

The Invizibles' motto is "more than meets the eye." Hidden conditions often go unnoticed and the stigma surrounding chronic illness and disability acts as a barrier to further discussion. Yet, 6 in 10 adults in the United States have a chronic disease and 4 in 10 adults have two or more. 96% of people with chronic medical conditions live with a condition that is invisible, and about 25% of them have some type of activity limitation.
