Patients Rising

Our Mission

Patients Rising is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support and education to people with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. We work with patients to advocate for access to the treatments, innovations and care they need.

Our Principles

• We stand up for patients’ rights and dignity.
• We advocate for timely access to the treatments patients need.
• We engage with patients, medical professionals and policy experts to have solution-oriented discussions and to keep healthcare transparent.
• We give a platform to patients and advocates to raise awareness of chronic and life-threatening illnesses.
• Our goal is to create lasting impact on the future of healthcare in the United States.
• We envision a healthcare system where no patient is deprived of access to the treatments they need when they need them.
