🎶 David Bowie once sang: "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange, ch-ch-changes." And life is full of transition and changes, especially when you're living with a chronic illness. It's essential to be able to adjust and plan for these changes. With a roadmap and support, transitions can be smoother. Join us and @yp_area for an interactive discussion about healthcare transitions on July 30th from 6:30 pm to 8 pm CT. You won't want to miss this expert-led discussion.

#Steptherapy has significant impacts on real patients, like Regina, a #lupus and #multiplesclerosis advocate. After three stable years of using medication to manage her condition, Regina was told that her insurance company had denied authorization for her upcoming treatment. 😖 Thus began an advocacy battle, as Regina was forced to fight for access to treatment. Regina overcame step therapy and reaccessed treatment thanks to her efforts and those of the Infusion Access Foundation. 📧 If you've been impacted by step therapy or know a patient who has, please share your story with us by emailing info@patientaccess.org. Please share this story with your community to help us amplify our advocacy impact.
