Our Foundation
Why We Fight
for Patients
Patients Rising exists to make sure patient voices are not an afterthought in healthcare policy. We focus on the real barriers patients face — access delays, affordability failures, and decisions made without patient input — and work to change the systems that cause them. Our work turns patient experience into informed advocacy and measurable policy impact.
Education That Drives Action
Patient-Centered Learning, Built for Impact
Patients Rising delivers practical education that helps patients understand healthcare policy, sharpen their advocacy skills, and take informed action.
Our learning programs are designed for people who want more than awareness — they want the knowledge and confidence to engage decision-makers and influence outcomes.
“Becoming a patient advocate, sharing my story, and connecting with others has shown me that even in life’s darkest moments, something beautiful can grow.”

“Every story matters, and if sharing mine helps even one person feel seen, supported, or empowered to speak up, that’s why I keep going.”
