What Is Snot Force Alliance?

Snot Force Alliance, Inc. is a non-profit organization that brings specialists treating the nose, sinus, and airway conditions together. The unique challenge faced by otolaryngologists (apart from teaching near and dear ones to spell and pronounce the specialization) to treat patients with upper airway diseases like allergic rhinitis (AR) or chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) who sometimes subsequently develop lower airway disease, such as asthma has given rise to the need of unified airway treatments. This has solidified the need for multidisciplinary care for these patients involving primary care physicians, otolaryngologists, allergists, immunologists, pulmonologists, and more.

Snot Force Alliance, Inc. makes great things happen by leveraging the power of multidisciplinary collaboration to treat sinusitis and other problems with the ears, nose, and throat.
