Frontline Medical Communications has established a partnership with the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) to provide physicians and other medical professionals with timely information on rare diseases, diagnostic resources and treatments.

Established in 1983, NORD is the primary nonprofit organization serving the rare disease community with education, advocacy, research grants and patient assistance programs. NORD works closely with rare disease experts to provide information for medical professionals, patients and families, and the public.

Over the next several months, Frontline and NORD will be creating many new digital and print resources to facilitate timely diagnosis and optimal care for patients.

The partnership will also include a "News From NORD" section in Frontline publications with news briefs and timely topics to help our readers stay current in the important and rapidly evolving world of rare diseases.
