SAN MARCOS – The Department of Physical Therapy at Texas State University, in collaboration with U.R. Our Hope, is hosting an art exhibition, "Beyond the Diagnosis," on the Round Rock Campus through Nov. 9
The exhibition, in Willow Hall, is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The event is free and open to the public.
The Beyond the Diagnosis exhibit’s focus is the "orphan disease" patient. Orphan diseases are rare diseases that drug companies do not produce treatments for because there are not enough potential patients to warrant the resources. Artists have donated their time and talents to paint orphan disease patients for this groundbreaking exhibit. Each portrait represents a single orphan disease. Beyond the Diagnosis unites art and science to inspire research and innovation of treatments for people living with orphan and neglected diseases.
U.R. Our Hope is a registered non-profit organization that assists individuals and their families on their journey to diagnosis, or helps them navigate the healthcare system with a rare diagnosis. For more information on U.R. Our Hope, visit urourhope.org.
