Elizabeth Schnitzer is a passionate advocate for treatment accessibility, having lived with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for decades. She has benefited from the evolution of treatment during that time and believes the National Psoriasis Foundation can be an even more significant force in expanding care to all patients, regardless of socioeconomic status. She also has a keen interest in women’s wellness, particularly as it intersects with psoriatic disease treatment.
