February is Rare Disease Awareness Month, a time to recognize the millions of people worldwide living with conditions that are often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or overlooked. While each rare disease affects a small number of individuals, together they impact more than 300 million people globally.
Raising awareness helps promote earlier diagnoses, better access to care, and increased support for research. Just as importantly, it reminds those affected that they are seen and not alone.
I encourage our community to take a moment this month to learn about rare diseases and support efforts that improve the lives of those living with them.
