Parents Improving Support, Surgery, Education, and Diligence with Hypospadias
WELCOME. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
As parents and patients, we understand how isolating hypospadias can be.
It's important to know that there are others who have been through similar experiences and understand what you're going through. By connecting with our community, you and your child can find support, and a sense of belonging.
VISION
To ensure all parents of boys born with hypospadias have enough information, time, and support to make informed decisions so their boys are positioned to live happy and fulfilled lives.
MISSION
Enhance the well-being of boys born with hypospadias by educating families about the condition and available choices, advocating for improved care and surgical outcomes, and fostering a resilient community through the provision of emotional support.
HYPECONNECTIONSTM
We believe that every child deserves to feel supported and that they are not alone.
Our proprietary social network, messaging, and support group called HYPEconnections provides a safe environment where children with hypospadias can meet one another, share stories, and make connections.
For kids with hypospadias, meeting another kid like them will reduce feelings of isolation, boost their self-confidence, and provide a sense of belonging as they grow up.

PROVIDE PARENTS WITH TOOLS
Hypospadias repair is not an "easy fix" and not every urologist is qualified to perform these complex surgeries.
It is essential to choose an experienced surgical team to give your son the best chance for success.
We provide you questions to ask your doctor that can help you evaluate if you have the right treating team.
