History

The Intermountain PKU and Allied Disorders group was formed in 2008, and received its 501(c)(3) status in 2009. IPAD was formed by members of the PKU community who share a desire to promote PKU awareness. In fall of 2008, the first meetings began with a purpose of establishing a group that could support individuals served by the metabolic clinic at Primary Children’s Hospital. The first meetings included those who became the current board of directors. IPAD has since held several community events, pursued fundraising opportunities, and served as a distribution point for critical PKU information.
