Coming this May, NORD is hosting the 2016 Rare Impact Awards to bring together the rare disease community and to honor and celebrate outstanding achievements. During the event NORD will recognize the individuals, organizations, advocates and companies that are moving us forward in the fight against rare diseases.
Among the nine Rare Impact Award Honorees is ThinkGenetic founder, Dawn Laney, M.S., C.G.C, C.C.R.C.
When asked about being recognized, Laney states, “I am so humbled and incredibly honored to be recognized by NORD as an honoree. The Rare Impact Awards are an inspired way to support and emphasize the shared educational mission between genetic counselors and healthcare providers, patients, patient advocates, and all those attempting to get the word out about rare genetic conditions. I am looking forward to attending the event and being honored with so many others I respect and admire.”
