Help is our main goal !!

Founded out of frustration by an IC patient who recognized the need for more support in the Houston area, HICN was born. Our journey began with a single purpose – to fill the void of IC support, provide education, and raise awareness. Today, we continue to stay true to our roots, guided by unwavering commitment and fueled by the desire to make life better for those living with IC.
