Welcome to Passion for Patients! In this episode, host Tonya Winders is joined by Kristen Willard, Vice President of Education at Global Allergy and Airways Patient Platform (GAAPP), to unveil two exciting new initiatives coming in 2025. Tune in as they discuss the launch of the members-only Knowledge Hub, a dedicated space for organizations to connect, collaborate, and easily access valuable resources. Plus, discover the Understanding Your Medications Hub—an accessible public platform designed to empower patients, families, and healthcare providers with up-to-date information and practical tools for managing a wide range of conditions. Don’t miss this insightful conversation on how GAAPP is strengthening its community and supporting better patient outcomes!

Here are three key takeaways every healthcare leader should know:

1. Knowledge Hub for Members: A secure, members-only digital space is coming soon, making it easier than ever for member organizations to find, share, and amplify resources. The searchable library and community forum will enable deeper connections and collaboration across our global network.

2. Understanding Your Medications Hub: This public-facing resource will empower patients, caregivers, and providers with interactive and easy-to-understand materials about diagnosis, treatment options, medication adherence, flare recognition, and so much more—all in one accessible place.

3. Collaborative Learning & Growth: Both hubs are designed to highlight diverse resources from member organizations, foster peer-to-peer support, and continuously evolve based on user feedback. GAAPP’s commitment to collective impact and ongoing education is front and center!
