Understanding the economic impact of rare disease, as a whole, on all aspects of society is a critical need in order for public and private entities to make the best policies and decisions possible.
Cure Sanfilippo Foundation has joined with other patient-led rare disease advocacy organizations working to fill that gap by asking members of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies to include $1.5 million to its appropriations bill to study the economic and societal burdens of undiagnosed and untreated rare diseases.
Based in Columbia, South Carolina, Cure Sanfilippo sent the following letter requesting support to U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who serves on the committee.
