The Power of Human Connections and Resilient Communities

Now more than ever we need our communities but are stuck in a physically distanced world. Hear stories of how communities that cannot be together in person are still creating a sense of togetherness. Our panelists will discuss the resiliency of rare patients as well as the mental health challenges many face, providing insights on the impact of isolation and how foundations and patient communities can support their members in the current normal for as long as the COVID-19 global pandemic lasts.

In this plenary discussion you will learn:
– What it means to be a community across physical distance
– How patient and advocate communities can maintain connections in a physically dispersed world
– Ways to leverage new opportunities to connect virtually
