Rare Disease Day – – things to do this week
Throughout February, BioNews, publisher of this site, is recognizing Rare Disease Month with our patient communities, culminating in Rare Disease Day on Feb. 28. Although not all our communities are rare, there is something about each one of them that makes them unique. Join us as we explore what it really means to be rare.
