🧠 Mental health is rarely optional when you're living with a rare disease. Join Joanna, host of Rare Connection, for a powerful live conversation with Frank, a rare disease patient and mental health advocate who's working to make support more accessible for our community.

🌍 Living with sarcoidosis and other chronic conditions, Frank brings a deeply personal and professional perspective. He recently moderated a panel on mental health at the World Orphan Drug Congress USA and is now leading efforts to help rare disease patients find affordable, qualified mental health care providers.
