Prader-Willi Syndrome

A national leader in PWS support services. 

Since 1997, TRF has provided residential support to individuals with Prader-Willi Syndrome. PWS is a rare genetic disorder present at birth that is characterized by an insatiable appetite which leads to chronic overeating (hyperphagia), weak muscle tone (hypotonia), and often intellectual impairment and behavioral difficulties. TRF provides dietary, behavioral, and social support in select residential settings that align with the guidelines and suggestions established by the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association. 

With an established record of success of nearly 20 years, Tucson Residence Foundation has been recognized as a leader in providing services to individuals with PWS.

“In my capacity as the primary care physician for the last 10 plus years for a number of patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome, l can attest to the beneficial impact on their health due to the knowledge and support provided by the Tucson Residence Foundation.”
– Dung Nguyen, DO, FACOI, MAAC, Tucson, AZ
