We often get asked about our advocacy partnerships and what they're all about. Let's take a look at our fantastic relationship with APDA (American Parkinson Disease Association). APDA creates outstanding resources for people with Parkinson's. Their website hosts a wealth of educational materials that truly empower patients and families. At Smart Patients, we build and nurture communities. We help ease the fear and uncertainty that comes with a serious diagnosis by connecting people. When you know you're not alone, you're more likely to seek out information about your condition. Our network of patients, families, and caregivers helps members discover valuable resources they might otherwise miss. By joining forces with APDA, we're breaking down barriers between health organizations and information sources. This represents a move towards more integrated healthcare. Together, we put patients at the center, leveraging APDA's excellent advocacy resources while fostering a close-knit community. It's an ideal partnership for people with Parkinson's—our members receive top-notch peer support, and APDA extends its reach, helping more people than ever before. https://lnkd.in/g7BzhPW2

Can we talk for a moment about caregivers? Or more specifically, the wellbeing of caregivers. Caregivers' needs often go unaddressed, and there are so many reasons why. It's such an all-consuming role - the emotional toll of watching loved ones struggle is immense. Then there's the physical strain, not to mention the social isolation that creeps in. And let's not forget the financial stress that comes with it. It's tough because there's this lack of recognition, and support systems aren't really designed with caregivers in mind. Many feel guilty about taking time for themselves or don't even know where to find help. It's easy to lose your own identity when you're so focused on caring for someone else. Our healthcare system might overlook this topic, but our community certainly does not. If you're a caregiver, we want you to know you're not alone. We have a trusted space for you to join, where you can connect with others who truly understand what you're going through. https://lnkd.in/gcH2F9V4 #CaregiverCommunity #CaregiverConnection #CaregiverSupport

There is no better time than National Grandparents Day to honor the wisdom, love, and unwavering support that grandparents offer, especially when health challenges touch their families. We often see questions that begin like this: "My grandchild has just been diagnosed with a rare syndrome..." and end with: "I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has encountered this in their loved ones." These questions all share a common theme: Information-seeking wrapped in love and a deep desire for connection. Grandparents are the steady hands guiding their families through uncertainty, and we celebrate their strength today and always. #NationalGrandparentsDay #FamilySupport #PatientCommunity #Resilience
