NORD's Rare Disease Advisory Council
Listen now
Description
On the show today, it's all about Rare Disease Advisory Councils – or RDACs, for short. RDACs provide a platform for the rare community to have a stronger voice in state government. Joining us is NORD Director of Policy Heidi Ross, your one-stop human shop to understanding what these councils are, and how you – the listener – can take an active role in local policy changes. Long story short, RDACs can make a significant impact in your state, and you can contribute to that voice with resources from NORD's Project RDAC. NOTE: Sitting in for Matthew Zachary today is OffScrip Media Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer Andrew MacDowell. For more information about NORD visit https://rarediseases.org.
