The PatientPartner Mentor Program, connects patients who have experience with liver disease and clinical trial participation to those seeking peer perspective. Through one-on-one conversations, mentors share their personal experiences to help others feel less alone and more informed as they navigate their treatment journey. Mentors are volunteers, not medical professionals or company representatives, and do not provide medical advice.

PatientPartner is the secure platform that powers the PatientPartner Mentor Program. It provides a safe and private space where mentors and mentees can exchange messages and share personal experiences.
