Femade was developed out of a dream; it was based on the notion that a person - a patient - should be able to obtain treatment of any kind that might reduce pain and increase quality of life, be it from the modern medical system or through practiced alternative medicines. Founder Anusha Gandhi has been able to turn this dream into a company. While the concept is to grow our services and expand this company into a Nation-Wide epicentre for pain management, the focus will always be on the patient.
“In order to keep our feet on the ground we needed to have a base of patients that would remind us of the purpose, and remind us that while it might be advantageous from a business perspective to go in a certain direction it may not always be in the patients’ best interest” says Gandhi. Gandhi decided to parallel her Advisory Board members with a Patient Advisory Board: a well-rounded group of chronic pain patients who share similar but unique experiences with a variety of illnesses associated with pain.
In Early Spring, Femade will open its doors for patients to receive physical treatment. Meanwhile, the patient advisory board will work on several social support groups that will be the backbone to Femade’s mental health initiatives. “We are honored to have such a strong group of individuals who will serve not only as the patient voice but will act as an extension of our social media presence to continue to educate Canadians on pain, pain management and the importance of leaning on social support.”
Our Patient Advisory Members will be posted on our website shortly, with full bios. Each advocate is channeling their own patient advocacy while working as a team to push Femade’s mission of a higher standard of care for those suffering with chronic pain. Please welcome our team members.
