CISCRP Medical Hero Spotlight Series: Graves’ Disease Patient Advocacy
We’d like to thank the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation, Inc. (CISCRP) for highlighting the work of the GDATF during Graves’ Disease Awareness Month! GDATF Executive Director Kimberly Dorris spoke with CISCRP about her personal journey with Graves’ Disease and the important services provided by the GDATF:
“The foundation has really grown since its start in 1990, now serving as a supportive community for newly diagnosed patients and as a credible resource of information,” Kimberly says. “Many people who find out they have Graves’ disease or thyroid eye disease will immediately turn to Google for answers, but wading through so much information can be overwhelming – and in many cases, can be dangerously inaccurate. GDATF ensures all the information shared with patients is vetted and recommended by doctors.”

Earlier this year, the GDATF partnered with CISCRP and Immunovant to present “Understanding Clinical Research” – a webinar designed to answer patient questions about participating in clinical trials. If you missed that program, you can watch it on our YouTube channel.
