Hope for People with Chronic Illness
a project by Jessie Shay
More than 50 percent of the people in the United Stated live with a chronic illness, and more than 27 percent have multiple chronic conditions.*
Chronically Informed is a platform showcasing short-form videos for patients with chronic illness, by patients with chronic illness. Stories shared in the videos provide experiences of success and practical techniques for navigating the medical system. The goals of Chronically Informed are to create hope for people with chronic illness, help patients partner with their providers, and improve healthcare for patients.
Chronically Informed does NOT provide medical advice. The site is for educational purposes only. Please speak to a medical professional if you have medical questions.
