On #RareDiseaseDay it's so important to raise awareness of the struggles that people with a rare disease face. Our survey from 2018 showed that a third of respondents routinely visit 2 or more different hospitals to get the care they need. #rarediseases #ShowYourRare #rairda

Talk to your #pharmacist about everything you take. Even over-the-counter medications, vitamins and natural health products matter. Your pharmacist can help you understand if they are effective or safe, and if they will interact with your other medications.
It’s #PatientSafetyWeek. Ask your doctor these questions: • Have my medications changed? • What medications do I need to continue taking. Why? • How do I take my medications? • What are the side effects? • When should I come in for a follow up? Bit.ly/1k5sMgT
