Evolve Strategy

NEA will evolve to strengthen its impact and relevance for the eczema community. Every decision about how we invest our time, talent and resources will be guided by the question: Does this create the greatest value and impact for our community?

Strategic Goals

  1. NEA will support the eczema community, including patients, caregivers, healthcare providers and partners, by continuously evolving how we connect people to trusted resources, tools and information that improves eczema management, enhances quality of life and strengthens collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals.

  2. NEA will work to create a better world for all people affected by eczema by influencing systems that shape their care, access and outcomes. This includes advancing research, policy, regulation, funding and innovation that drive systemic improvements outside of NEA.

  3. NEA will continue building a resilient, high-performing organization capable of delivering on our mission at scale. This includes expanding and diversifying revenue, establishing strategic reserves and strengthening our operational infrastructure to support growth and innovation.
