David Harris

David Harris is the Practice Manager at The EDS Clinic. He believes the EDS community has been neglected for far too long and is committed to driving meaningful improvements in quality of life for everyone affected. With a background in business strategy, David brings a unique perspective to healthcare. He previously worked at McKinsey & Company, where he advised Fortune 500 companies on growth and product development.

David was introduced to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome through his father, Dr. Jim Harris, who was already providing care to hundreds of patients with EDS. After learning about the significant barriers patients face in accessing compassionate, knowledgeable care for the EDS trifecta, David set out to help transform the system. Through hundreds of conversations with researchers, physicians, and patients, he began a long journey of listening, learning, and working to better understand how to serve the needs of this deeply underserved community. Today, that journey continues through efforts to expand access to care, grow a world-class clinical team, and build the infrastructure for a nationwide medical home for patients with complex, chronic conditions.

David is dedicated to working hand-in-hand with the patient community to build a future where every individual has access to accurate diagnosis, affordable care, a compassionate medical team, and, ultimately, a cure.

“We can’t wait for every last non-believer to change their mind about EDS, and we don’t have to. We can take this problem into our own hands. We will take care of our own. A patient-led revolution is starting.”
