NCSD is...
Situated in the nation's capital, the National Coalition of STD Directors (NCSD) works toward the development of systemic change and promotion of national awareness in the policies that govern STDs.
As the only national organization with a constituency that provides frontline STD programs and services, NCSD uses its experiences to enhance reform in the policy making process. NCSD proactively seeks to increase resources for core STD programs and services. NCSD also responds swiftly to efforts to curtail access to services and sexual health information.
