Chronic Disease Day Sheds Light on Patient Treatment Access
On July 10th, BioNTX joined Good Days; a North Texas based national, not-for-profit advocacy organization to celebrate and raise awareness about 7/10 – Chronic Disease Day. Chronic diseases account for 7 of the top 10 causes of death in America and more than 90% of annual healthcare spending.
Good Days honored Cienna Ditri, a chronic disease and disability advocate, and social media influencer. Cienna suffers from periodic paralysis, a spectrum disorder that causes reduced levels of potassium in herblood, hypokalemia, during episodes of muscle weakness. Despite her challenges, she has created a platform with more than 100,000 followers that inspires others to persevere and helps raise awareness for chronic conditions.
She was awarded the Len Rodgers Spirit Award by Good Days, which recognizes individuals who dedicate themselves to support others despite their health challenges. Good Days provides patient assistance and financial resources for lifesaving and life-extending treatments to patients with chronic diseases.
