#ConnectingJA transforms Research.
“Cassie + Friends helped me connect on different levels with several of my patients who have rare systemic autoinflammatory diseases. I was able to get their point of view to mold several research proposals through the patient advisory council that C&F set up and included several of the families that see me in the genetics clinic. This has helped make my research efforts better aligned with the priorities of the families of children with these complex medical conditions.”

#ConnectingJA transforms Innovation.
“Connecting with Cassie & Friends has helped my research in two important ways: First, Cassie & Friends has helped me connect with patients and parents to make research proposals and research tools better, and more relevant to improve juvenile arthritis care. Second, Cassie & Friends has written letters supporting multiple successful applications to obtain Research Grants.”
