📣 HS Connect Makes History in Times Square!
, a patient-led organization dedicated to improving awareness, resources, and community for people living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), has made history with Times Square’s first patient-led runway show — a groundbreaking moment for visibility and representation in the HS community.
“Featuring 13 models living with HS, the empowering display brought real stories of people living with HS to the forefront.”
— HS Connect (2025), “HS Connect Makes History with Times Square’s First Patient-Led Runway Show.”

Why it matters:
💡 HS affects approximately 1 in 100 people in the U.S., yet remains underdiagnosed and misunderstood.
💪 The Find Us Campaign by helps patients know they’re not alone and that support and treatment options exist.
🌍 The Times Square show was a bold reminder that representation matters — in medicine, media, and beyond.
