February 21, 2025

Feb 21, 2025 – The American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) is proud to announce the launch of EosCare (NavigateEosCare.org), a new digital resource designed to assist patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers in navigating clinical care for eosinophil-associated diseases.

This comprehensive digital toolkit was developed collaboratively by the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) and Healing Hugs Haven to empower individuals living with eosinophil-associated diseases, as well as their caregivers, by providing guidance on effectively navigating healthcare systems and advocating for optimal care.

Key Features of EosCare:

  • Understanding Healthcare Rights: Teaches patients how to more confidently exercise their healthcare rights.
  • Exploring Healthcare Delivery Models: Insights to help people make informed decisions about their care options.
  • Navigating Health Insurance: Information about models of healthcare delivery and key terms.
  • Advocacy and Care Coordination: Strategies for building an effective care team, participating in shared decision-making, and transitioning from pediatric to adult care.
  • Optimizing Clinical Visits: Tips for selecting the right doctor, preparing for appointments, effective communication, and follow-up care.

EosCare is tailored for a diverse audience at any stage of their diagnostic or treatment journey, aiming to build confidence and competence in managing eosinophil-associated diseases.

The development of this toolkit was made possible through educational grants from Abbott, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Sanofi, and Regeneron.
