Introducing Panther Power

To help pediatric patients feel more comfortable with their injects, PANTHER employees created a PANTHER hero, Roary the brave panther cub. Follow the story of Roary (authored by two PANTHER employees) as he takes on injections to stay strong and healthy. This action-packed storybook helps families spark conversations, ease fears, and show young patients just how courageous they really are.

Panther Power was authored by Abigail Jastrab (Director, Clinical Patient Engagement) and Jess Kuivinen (Senior Manager, Clinical Patient Engagement) at PANTHERx Rare.

“Jess’s contributions were so significant that she’s truly a co‑author, not just a supporter in the background. I genuinely wouldn’t have been able to move this forward with my bandwidth, and Jess not only saw the value in the story — she made sure it came to life. I’m deeply grateful for everything she poured into it.” — Abigail
