Hello,

How are you today? 

After 12 years of hard work to grow Carenity and its patient communities, it is with pride but also nostalgia that Michael Chekroun, Carenity's founder, is leaving Carenity and flying off to new adventures. 

In his farewell message, Michael tells us:

"During these 12 years, I've had the privilege of leading a team determined to support people with chronic illnesses, and I'm proud of what we've achieved together.  

We've created a strong, united community, where patients can get information, share experiences and find valuable support.

We have also conducted hundreds of research projects that have advanced medical knowledge for the benefit of patients and their families.  

I look forward to new entrepreneurial projects with a sense of accomplishment. And also with the conviction that Lise and the team will pursue the mission with determination and passion.   

I wish you all the very best and thank you warmly for your trust and support over the years.

Best regards,  

Michael Chekroun"

Feel free to say a few words to him in the comments below!

It is with many mixed emotions that this message is being sent. I’m sure everyone, including myself, are sad you are moving on but equally sure everyone is sincerely wishing you every happiness and success in your professional & personal future. This site, that you created, is a boon to everyone experiencing chronic health problems and I’ll personally, always be grateful.
