AdvocacyConnection Support for Patient Communities
As an advocate for patient access to critical care therapeutics, ASD Healthcare sup- ports several nonprofit organizations that serve patient communities worldwide.
Like ASD Healthcare, these organiza- tions are active participants in
providing exceptional services — from educational resources to fundraising for research — that improve the quality of life for persons with rare
and chronic diseases.
We encourage healthcare
providers to share information about these advocacy groups with patients and their caregivers, knowing that support from trusted and caring sources is available.
