We are Erasmus MC. Our roots lie in Rotterdam, a city and port of international standing. We are the most innovative university medical center in the Netherlands and one of the world’s leading centers of scientific research. We are committed to achieving a healthy population and pursuing excellence in healthcare through research and teaching.
Day in, day out, our staff, volunteers and students work with passion and dedication to achieve everything we stand for: safe, first-rate healthcare for patients with complex issues, unusual and rare conditions or acute needs. But we also stand for top-quality teaching that attracts ambitious, inquisitive and talented students and seeks to answer the healthcare questions of tomorrow. And we stand for world-class scientific research that bolsters our understanding of diseases and disorders and helps to predict, treat and prevent them.
We do our work based on our basic principles, the core values of Erasmus MC, 'responsible', 'connecting' and 'enterprising'. We believe that we provide the best care, research and education if we are responsible, binding and enterprising.
The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), a 501(c)(3) organization, is an independent patient advocacy organization dedicated to helping individuals with rare diseases and the organizations that serve them. NORD, along with its 350+ patient organization members, is committed to the identification, treatment, and cure of rare disorders through programs of education, advocacy, research, and patient support services.
NORD serves all stakeholders in the rare disease community, including patients and their families, patient organizations, researchers, medical professionals, medical students, and companies developing orphan products.
NORD also works closely with many government agencies, most notably the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
All NORD programs are focused on one ultimate goal: to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by rare diseases.
NORD is the official U.S. sponsor of Rare Disease Day, an international observance day held on the last day of February each year. Its goals are to raise awareness for rare diseases and improve access to treatment and medical representation for individuals with rare diseases and their families.
