Well done @RareKC. Encouraging to have drug companies, advocacy, doctors, researchers, patients and an insurance company, together, discussing improved healthcare for #raredisease! Imagine a world where insurance, researchers,and doctors were united for the good of patients!

It's Rare Disease Week. One KC man who lives with Sickle Cell Anemia makes it his life's work to find a cure. His inspiration is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. I hope you'll take a look at our story with Kevin Wake. @sicklecellmidewst @RareKC kmbc.com/article/kc-presiden…
