Study Results

Connecting with the right primary care physician and/or specialist can be incredibly important for patients and their caregivers. Rare Patient Voice partnered with MediFind, an advanced digital health platform helping people facing complex health challenges find care, and surveyed 1,229 members of the RPV community on their current journey to diagnosis and care. The resulting report, "The Long and Winding Road to Care'' can be downloaded here.

Patients have a lot to say about finding the best physician for them. The following are the top responses we received in the survey in response to: “What difference, if any, has finding the right doctor made to the patient?”

Partner Corner

Inspired by my mom's journey with pulmonary fibrosis (PF), I started the Breathe Support Network, an online PF support group network. PF is a little known, progressive and terminal lung disease with no cure. The only treatments to date are designed to slow progression. PF is stealing the breath from our loved ones worldwide.

The Breathe Support Networks mission is to provide support & education for PF patients and families, helping them to better #LIVEwithPF. This includes, but is not limited to:

- peer-to-peer support for those diagnosed with PF, as well as their caregiver and loved ones
- education about PF
- guiding patients and families on how to talk to their healthcare team
- providing tips to live a healthier more productive life
- providing information about other PF resources

Currently, due to a lack of knowledge in the medical community about how to accurately and quickly diagnose or treat someone with PF, most education for patients & loved ones happens in the support group system. Most with PF spend years trying to get the right diagnosis. Once diagnosed, it's important to have a PF expert treating them. Most in healthcare are not PF experts, not even many in pulmonary medicine. Our network helps those on the PF journey to not only learn but often to get connected with the right healthcare team for their treatment.

With the COVID pandemic, we now have another cause to this disease with over 200 types. COVID PF has become more widespread & will likely continue. For this reason, our latest support group for COVID PF patients & loved ones has opened in our network, bringing us to 7 groups and a business page to accomplish our mission.

Along with helping PF patients & loved ones, our goal is to make PF a household word, as well known as cancer, so every PF patient gets diagnosed quickly and gets the same quality of care.
