Stephanie Rider | Director, Payor Relations & Policy
Immune Deficiency Foundation

Having had a child with primary immunodeficiency (PI), I invested in the medical profession and trained to become a medical assistant at the Ohio Institute of Health Careers. My focus has always been on helping patients and guiding them to needed resources. I spent a decade in the PI consumer advocate and patient navigator space before joining the Immune Deficiency Foundation. I supported patients in my role as the response behind Ask IDF before taking the position of director of payer relations and policy to help patients access to equitable, affordable access to life-sustaining therapies.
