Rare Voices S1E1: Candace Lerman, RareCandace.com

By Donovan Quill July 7, 2020 No Comments

You never get a second chance to introduce your first episode. So, we wanted to start Rare Voices with someone who has granted opportunities for being heard to so many patients, Candace Lerman. 

Candace, a self-identified disease warrior, is an unconventional advocate for creating a more fulfilling life experience for patients with chronic and rare illnesses. Her work is sprawling — from courtrooms, to policy-maker offices, to living rooms and the virtual world, she has empowered so many, exposed the shortcomings of our healthcare systems, and created new pathways to improved care.
