Jones, MD, MBA, to empower people living with keloids and to support new and ongoing research about the condition. Despite the advancements in medical knowledge and technology, keloids are still a challenging condition to treat. We understand the transformative change of a united community, and we\u2019re working to build that community by connecting patients with up-to-date information and knowledgeable medical providers. We strive to achieve this through a five-step plan that includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increasing education and awareness&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encouraging research and development&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promoting evidence-based treatment and care&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating a community of belonging and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting advocacy and policy development&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mission Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Keloid Academy, our mission is to educate and inform the public and health science community about keloid disease, its treatments, ongoing research and innovative solutions. We strive to increase awareness and understanding of this condition, empowering those affected to make informed decisions about their care. Through our dedication to encouraging research and promoting innovation in the field, we aim to improve the lives of those living with keloid disease and provide hope for a future without this condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"310\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/keloidacademy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/keloidacademy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4.jpg 310w, https:\/\/keloidacademy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MicrosoftTeams-image-4-256x256.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group about-caption\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lamont R.
