Transforming Psoriasis Outcomes for Patients
Eight million Americans suffer from psoriatic arthritis. You can be diagnosed at any time. The disease affects everyone in different ways — physically, mentally, and emotionally. From rashes to arthritis, psoriasis is unpredictable. And unfortunately, those who suffer don’t always manage the disease up to the level that it needs. In this episode, Murray discusses the partnership between the National Psoriasis Foundation and Happify Health with NFP CEO Leah Howard, and Theo Ahadome, an SVP at Happify Health. The goal of the partnership is to unleash the tools and resources needed—including digital therapeutics— to help those who suffer, manage, and even thrive with their disease. Tune in for a lively and informative discussion.
NPF CEO Leah Howard has 20 years of experience working with national health and disability organizations, local governments, and leading health care and research institutions. She has a bachelor of arts degree in government and international relations from the University of Notre Dame and a law degree from George Mason University School of Law.
