The Workwell Foundation is no stranger to challenges. Their many years of vital research, objective cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), and publishing of educational resources on myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a testament to their passion and determination. ME/CFS is a difficult illness to communicate. The name, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, makes it easy for the public to dismiss and trivialize the disease. However, the illness is debilitating to its victims, and people who suffer from it are disabled. Their strife alienates them from their work, community members, and even family. Workwell provides medical testing that scientifically proves a disability caused by this illness. They then work with legal professionals to provide documentation that helps the patient receive the assistance they so critically need. The team at Workwell is personally motivated to provide hope to its patients, provide them with options, and give them the tools necessary to understand their illness and start living their lives a little more comfortably.
Workwell, through the generous support of donors, continuously offers objective CPET testing for disability evaluation , conducts research, and educates the public. They offer an abundance of information and resources readily available on their website. They also regularly conduct webinars and educational seminars to bring awareness to ME/CFS.
