"What are your thoughts about the Thyroid Foundation of America? Are you a member? Will you join in 2001? Are they representing your interests? What would you like them to do that they're not doing?"

Kevin R. Laverty is the new Administrative Director of the Thyroid Foundation of America (TFA). In January of 2001, Laverty shared some points about TFA’s latest activities and future plans.
- What are the benefits of membership for someone who might be interested in joining TFA? Our newsletter, The Bridge, and the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping someone else our there who has a thyroid problem get information and support. (The membership fee also includes your choice of a free book and article reprints).
- Our 800 line is perhaps the most important service we provide. It is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
- Unfortunately our chapter network is in disrepair. Currently we only have active chapters in NY-NJ-CT and MD
- TFA has been involved in clinical research to investigate some of the factors that may cause thyroid problems.
- The URL of our new site is www.allthyroid.org. Parts of the site are up and operational right now, but the official launch is scheduled for early Dec. 2001
- If you need information about thyroid problems, a physician referral, or just someone to talk to and listen, call us
