The National Anemia Action Council, Inc. (NAAC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. NAAC is not a membership organization. We operate as an advisory council offering expert information about anemia of chronic disease to any interested person or organization. Because anemia is either a symptom or consequence of many diseases and conditions, the council is comprised of nationally recognized specialists from a broad variety of medical disciplines.
Talk to our experts about anemia in the following areas:
Anesthesiology • Cardiology • Critical Care • Endocrinology • Gastroenterology • Geriatrics • Gynecology • Hematology • Nephrology • Pediatric Nephrology • Nursing • Oncology • Rheumatology • Surgery
