Advocacy

Our Patient Advocacy platform provides a full suite of advocacy initiatives. It focuses on cultivating and activating a diverse grassroots network of patients, families and allies to advocate for positive change in our complex healthcare system. We work at community, state and federal levels supporting reforms and legislation aimed at advancing patient access to affordable, quality healthcare.

  • Patients Rising Now is our advocacy portal and gateway for patients to join our network, sign up for training, and take action.
  • Patients Rising Stories is our innovative story portal that enables patients to share their stories. It acts as a community for patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals and policy experts, as well as media and legislators, all while ensuring the patient’s voice is preeminent.
  • The Patient Access & Affordability Project evaluates the various frameworks used to assess and demonstrate the value of new treatments to ensure that the patient is kept at the center of these decisions.
  • Advocacy Master Class Training teaches patients from across therapeutic areas on key healthcare issues and different ways they can raise their voice to move the needle in healthcare.

You’ll receive updates about new resources, patient stories and insights, advocacy work, and alerts about patient-support events.
