The USA joined Rare Disease Day in 2009 with participation from NORD, the National Organization for Rare Disorders, making the campaign a truly international affair. Diverse events and campaigns have been organised since then, including a collection of photographs with the Rare Disease logo across the USA, “Handprints across America”, and educational programmes in schools. In 2013 President Barack Obama sent a letter proclaiming his support of the day.
NORD, the National Organization for Rare Disorders, is committed to the identification, treatment, and cure of rare diseases through programmes of education, advocacy, research and patient services. They can be contacted directly to help you find a patient organisation locally which may have more information about a specific rare disease or disorder. Find their contact information on the bottom of this page.
