Health Rising’s goal is the eradication of ME/CFS, FM, Long COVID, etc., by sharing the latest research, treatment, and advocacy news.
Health Rising was formed in Dec. 2012 by Cort Johnson. Cort and guest bloggers provide the written content and Stavya Grover provides his web expertise.
Health Rising’s goal is the eradication of chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), long COVID, POTS, and allied complex chronic illnesses.
To that end, Health Rising is committed to:
- Sharing about ME/CFS, FM, Long COVID, etc with the idea that the more people – from patients to philanthropists to doctors and researchers – who get what these diseases are, the more support these diseases will receive, the better off patients will be, and the quicker the road to their eradication.
- Providing an environment that fosters hope, creativity, and success.
- Empowering patients and their supporters by providing clear, understandable reviews of the latest research and treatment options.
- Supporting patients’ health and well-being with clear, comprehensive guides to treatment and management options, and by providing access to recovery stories.
- Providing a safe space for patients to discuss their treatment successes/failures.
- Supporting advocacy efforts.
