Rare Disease Day 2023

Rare Disease Day is observed annually on the last day of February, the rarest day of the year, to raise awareness of the more than 7,000 rare diseases that impact over 300 million people worldwide. More than 90% of rare diseases are without an FDA-approved treatment.*

As a health care services business, our sole focus is rare disease because people living with rare disease deserve better care. Optum Frontier Therapies (OFT) has made it our mission to create access to therapies at the frontier of health care and to help all people, no matter how unique, access a better tomorrow. Optum Frontier Therapies is taking an intentional approach to help find answers for people living with rare disease that spans across medication distribution, commercial services, supporting patients and caregivers, collaborating with clinicians and providing pharmacy services to deliver a holistic health care services approach.   

In honor of #RareDiseaseDay, we encourage you to show your stripes and join the conversation as we work to drive action and better care for people living with rare disease. Learn how at rarediseaseday.org #ShowYourStripes
