Colorado Rare Disease Day Virtual Event
Wednesday, February 24, 2021
12:00pm – 1:30pm CST
Colorado Rare Action Network invites you to join patients, families, caregivers and other rare disease community members at this important virtual event to educate Colorado legislators and the general public on the challenges faced by rare disease patients and their families. We will explore how the formation of a Rare Disease Advisory Council (RDAC) could address the needs of those living with a rare disease in Colorado by providing stakeholders an opportunity to make formal recommendations to state leaders about the most important issues they face, including the need for increased research and awareness, knowledgeable health care providers, and timely access to affordable diagnostics, treatments and cures.
What's Happening Now?
Please join the Colorado Rare Action Network for our monthly virtual rare discussion groups. They are held on the third Tuesday of every month at 12pm MST. Join rare advocates to discuss challenges rare patients are facing in Colorado and connect with others. Click here to register for the meeting(s).
