Advocacy in Action Award

This award is given to a health care provider (HCP) who is also an advocacy hero. They have demonstrated an impact on their community on local issues related to psoriatic disease. Individuals who advocate for legislative and regulatory solutions that help ensure access to life-changing psoriatic disease therapies for all are encouraged to apply.

Excellence in Collaborative Care Award

This award is given to a health care provider (HCP) who has gone above and beyond to ensure their patients have access to a full network of skilled providers. This person has created a streamlined referral system, ensuring that patients are cared for beyond their psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis diagnosis. This can also include providers who have implemented training programs for precise diagnosis and evidence-based care.

Elevating Equity in Health Care Award

This award is given to a health care provider (HCP) who has elevated care for underserved communities, not only working to enhance access and care but creating tailored support systems within those communities. This individual should be someone with a passion for working with those with skin of color, children/youth, those who live in rural areas, those who are eligible for Medicare/Medicaid, or other underserved populations.
