In addition, hosted a booth where resources designed to support both patients and healthcare professional were shared by long time PDSA volunteer and advocate, Ken Kruse.
Patient organizations like play a vital role in shaping the future of care.
We bring forward the lived experience that inform better research, more patient – centered clinical trials, and stronger partnerships across the healthcare ecosystem.
When clinicians, researchers, nurses, social workers and patient advocates come together, the entire community benefits.
And that’s our goal: Championing the needs of those living with ITP and other rare bleeding disorders.”
