Who we are

CORE-IBD is a dedicated alliance of patients, healthcare professionals, and patient advocates united by a shared passion for advancing education, advocacy, research, and treatment for individuals affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). This collaborative effort seeks to drive meaningful change in the way IBD is understood, managed, and treated.

At the heart of CORE-IBD’s mission is an unwavering commitment to empowering individuals with IBD to make informed decisions about their health and healthcare. By providing access to evidence-based and community created health information, CORE-IBD aims to demystify complex medical concepts and foster a deeper understanding of IBD. Through education, support, and connection with a global network of patients and healthcare professionals, CORE-IBD promotes a sense of community, reducing isolation and encouraging shared learning.

The primary goal of CORE-IBD is to create a comprehensive, accessible, and ever-evolving library of information that addresses the diverse needs of everyone affected by IBD—patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers alike. This resource portal is designed to offer clear, practical, and up-to-date guidance on all aspects of IBD management, from treatment options and symptom tracking to mental health support and lifestyle adaptations.

By fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, CORE-IBD seeks to bridge knowledge gaps, amplify patient voices, and champion a holistic approach to IBD care. Ultimately, CORE-IBD strives to inspire hope, improve quality of life, and pave the way for a future where individuals with IBD feel informed, supported, and empowered in every aspect of their healthcare journey.
