A committee of NORD staff and Board of Directors will review the nominations and determine the winners, who will join the esteemed company of previous honorees that include patients, caregivers, patient advocacy groups, researchers, healthcare professionals, legislators, regulators, bioethicists and innovators.
Event Details
Winners will be recognized during NORD’s 35th Anniversary Celebration presenting the Rare Impact Awards on May 17 in Washington, D.C.
This event will celebrate the efforts to help the 30 million Americans with rare diseases who, by the very nature of their diagnoses, may be overlooked by traditional medicine, research and healthcare policies.
