JPA Health

In honor of Rare Disease Day (Friday, February 28), we reflect on 18 years of dedication at JPA Health?to developing?innovative solutions for patients with rare diseases. Despite ongoing challenges in access, research, and treatment, our commitment remains unwavering. Recent changes in NIH funding are expected to impact critical research by limiting resources for facilities and administrative support, which are essential for advancing studies in this field. At JPA, we stand with the rare disease community—patients, caregivers, and researchers alike—as we continue to drive progress and improve lives. #RareDiseaseDay
