WHATNEXT.com is officially partnering with its companion site PatientWorthy.com., a news website and media platform dedicated to rare disease and chronic illness news with a patient-oriented focus.
For years, Patient Worthy has established itself as a leader and a trusted voice in the online patient media landscape with a special emphasis on rare disease and, more recently, chronic illnesses as a whole. Patient Worthy believes that rare patients are so much more than just their diagnosis. Through compelling, breaking news stories and patient interviews and reflections, Patient Worthy offers support and information to patients, caregivers, and their loved ones.
While Patient Worthy and WHATNEXT focus on somewhat different diseases and subject matter, there’s actually a lot more overlap between rare disease and cancer than the average reader might believe.
There are a number of rare genetic syndromes and disorders that can significantly increase a person’s risk of being diagnosed with cancer, for instance. There are also a surprising number of people living with multiple diagnoses that include a rare disease and cancer, not to mention the large number of cancer types that are considered rare.
If Patient Worthy’s focus applies to you, then the WHATNEXT team encourages you to look out for updates by signing up for the Patient Worthy newsletter and following their social media profiles:
Most importantly WHATNEXT and Patient Worthy share a common goal: to amplify the patient voice through compelling stories, contributions, and interviews. Story sharing is one of the most powerful things that patients can do to support others with their disease and help spread awareness.
