The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) is a unique federation of voluntary health organizations dedicated to helping people with rare "orphan" diseases and assisting the organizations that serve them. NORD is committed to the identification, treatment, and cure of rare disorders through programs of education, advocacy, research, and service.
“People with rare diseases often feel alone. It's important for them to be able to connect with others who've gone down the same road. NORD has provided a networking service for many years but now, thanks to Inspire, we're also able to provide online networking where people can share both practical advice and emotional support.”
