You’re Invited! We hope you’ll join us for our next Empowered #patientchat on Friday, March 22nd as we discuss and share how to apply patient advocacy initiatives to you patient journey with special guest Seth Rotberg (@Srotberg15).

He has done over 21 talks, with the most notable ones being at TEDxNatick and Global Genes Patient Advocacy Summit.

At the age of 20, Seth also tested positive for the disease and is a gene carrier. He is an active member of the HD community and currently sits on the Board of Trustees for the Huntington’s Disease Youth Organization (HDYO).
