Patient Equity Council

Access to healthcare is heavily impacted by a patient’s race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability and other social determinants, creating disparities and inequities for a broad range of patients. As part of our commitment to ensure that all patients have access to treatments and care, we have created the Patients Rising Patient Equity Council. 

The Council is composed of healthcare stakeholders from a variety of cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, including youth and patient advocates, health educators, writers and consultants, as well as case workers and nonprofit leaders – several of whom live with rare and chronic diseases themselves.
