"When I found out that I had glaucoma it came as a shock. Of course, I was afraid that this meant I was going to be blind. I started researching and while researching, I found this community. Here were people going through or having gone through the same thing I was. The support and information I got helped to ease my fears and helped me to realize that though my life was changed, I could still do the things I love to do, though maybe differently. This disease could only take over my life if I let it. This group has helped me to live with glaucoma. Because of it, I know that I'm not alone."

"I am extremely grateful for The Glaucoma Community. Reading about other's journey with glaucoma has been very supportive and helpful to me in a number of ways, all positive. I thank everyone that have shared their experiences, stories, concerns, fears and positve outcomes. I am amazed by what some have endured and continue to feel hopeful for the future."

"Thanks The Glaucoma Community team for all the useful information you send us every week! Now, I'm more confident and hopeful than ever before. Besides the clinical and scientific information I receive, I learn from other people with the same kind of health problems and difficulties."

"My battle with glaucoma was a five-year battle. As I moved along, I relied a great deal on information from the Glaucoma Community. In the end, I ended up at U. C. Davis having my left eye removed. That transition was made so much easier by you giving me information that made the whole process more understandable. Still depending on your help, after all I still have one good eye but you never know what is around the corner. Thank you so much."

I did not understand what was happening to me and I felt very alone for a very long time. I got Covid during the initial wave in 2020. No one validated my symptoms and everyone around me thought it was psychological. I found Responsum for Long Covid and I immediately found peace. I was no longer the only victim as people shared stories that were almost identical to mine. Grief, frustration, sadness, symptoms, and recommendations were the same among all of us. Being able to share my personal experience and what has helped me has been so rewarding.

I cannot thank all the individuals that have contributed to this Responsum for Long COVID web site. This was a fantastic support through some of my toughest stretches in my 7 months dealing with this terrible illness.

"I have enjoyed reading your informative and supportive articles for a while from the time I was preparing for a kidney transplant that was successfully concluded at Yashoda Hospital in India in Feb 2024. I remember one article that was shared about donor myths. When I shared this with my donor, who listened to negative myths, he became more determined and resolute and eventually donated with courage. We are both doing well and are back in our country."

"I find it nice to have a credible source of information on a wide array of subject matter. I have stage 2 Kidney disease, and it’s comfortable to hear others' journeys, what their concerns are, what’s working for them, and see their positive outlook. Glad I found this site 😊"

When I was able to meet on-line with another group of ladies; it felt reassuring that I was not alone. Some of the on-line articles have been very helpful as well. This is a responsible group that helps women feel empowered because "the secret" of menopause does not need to remain hidden.

"I found TGC via an article on the Glaucoma Research Foundation's website. Your platform has provided several informative articles about glaucoma, as well as allowing patients to dialogue with others traveling the same path. Connection & information are important tools for understanding glaucoma."

"Today I have learned an abundance of knowledge about my glaucoma. I am prepared to get into some of the studies to help my severe glaucoma and get off some of the eye drops meds. I have had several surgeries, and the pressures did not lower. Pressure is currently unstable. "

"Last year The Glaucoma Community was recommended to me as a way to educate myself and connect with other patients. I signed up and have appreciated what the app can offer, including helpful articles from credible sources, and engaging with other patients to offer and receive support. I appreciate everyone who dedicates their time to educating and supporting patients, including those who create content and engage with TGC."

Our Core Values

At Responsum Health, our values guide every decision, innovation, and interaction. They are more than words—they are the foundation of our commitment to empowering patients, fostering trust, and creating a better healthcare experience for those navigating chronic conditions.

Patient-Centricity

You Come First

We believe that every patient deserves more than just care—they deserve to be heard, supported, and empowered. Your experiences, concerns, and aspirations shape everything we do. Our platforms are built around real patients, real needs, and real impact because we know that when you have the right information and community, you can take control of your health journey with confidence.

Integrity

Truth You Can Trust

Misinformation can be dangerous, especially when it comes to health. That’s why we are unwavering in our commitment to providing only the most accurate, up-to-date, and science-backed information. Every article, resource, and recommendation is carefully vetted by medical experts—so you can trust that what you’re reading is not just helpful, but reliable.

Community

No One Should Face Their Health Journey Alone

A diagnosis can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. At Responsum Health, we believe in the power of human connection. Our communities provide a safe space where patients can share their experiences, learn from others, and find encouragement from people who truly understand what they’re going through. Together, we create a movement of strength, support, and shared wisdom.

Empowerment

Knowledge is Power, and Power is Yours

We equip you with the tools, education, and resources you need to become an active participant in your own healthcare journey. When patients are informed, they make better decisions, advocate for themselves effectively, and ultimately, live fuller, healthier lives. We don’t just want you to survive—we want you to thrive.

Innovation

Breaking Barriers in Patient Support

The healthcare landscape is constantly evolving, and so are we. We embrace new ideas, technology, and research to deliver groundbreaking solutions that make it easier for patients to find clarity in complexity. 

We believe you deserve more than just care—you deserve control, confidence, and community.
