Additional Support
NORD provides more including our Rare Disease Educational Support Program and Rare Caregiver Respite Program.
Patient Assistance ProgramsSince 1987, NORD has provided assistance programs to help patients obtain life-saving or life-sustaining medication they could not otherwise afford. These programs provide medication, financial assistance with insurance premiums and co-pays, diagnostic testing assistance, and travel assistance for clinical trials or consultation with disease specialists.
One in 10 Americans lives with rare disease, many of whom fight a daily battle to access the care and support they need. Your gift to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD®) funds life-changing programs and helps us advance policies and research to ensure that everyone gets the care they need AND deserve.
