“I’m grateful to be named a Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association Rising Star alongside so many other talented, accomplished women in the industry,” said Mann. “The cornerstone of what we do and why we do it is our patients – and I know that sentiment reverberates throughout this group. Each day we strive to provide resources and treatments for those who have lived for so long without any answers, and this award underscores the importance of that dedication.”

Mann has more than 15 years of experience developing best-in-class marketing strategies for both patients and health care providers across various disease states.
