Access to Treatment and Trials: Assisting patients in accessing treatments, including those that may be experimental or not widely available. They might also help patients enroll in clinical trials that are relevant to their condition.

Advocacy and Awareness: Representing the interests of patients and their families in policy discussions, helping to improve healthcare services, and raising public awareness about the condition.
