Rare Voices Podcast

For the final episode of our first season, we take a look back at the year that was. Despite our best-laid plans, 2020 had the health care industry on its heels. The pandemic created so much uncertainty and disrupted the familiar pathways to care for patients with rare and orphan conditions.

Given the volatility of our past year, what could be our hope for moving forward?

To best tackle this question, we moved our host to the interview side of the microphone and pulled in Michelle Hefley, the cofounder of Optime Care and a wise counsel to so many when it comes to rare and orphan patient populations.

During this episode, we dive into what brought these two thought leaders together, what the passion is at the core of their partnership, how they have converted that passion into a legacy of improved patient care.

Highlights:
- The secret to business success for Optime Care? Remaining unapologetically patient-first…no matter what.
- How some of the disruptions to health care during the pandemic could have long-term benefits for patients with rare and orphan conditions.
- A preview of the rare voices you can expect to hear in Season Two!
