Partner with patient advocacy groups and condition-specific online communities (Facebook groups for chronic illness are goldmines). Cash incentives in the $25–$50 range tend to move the needle, but framing it as 'help improve care for others like you' genuinely boosts response too. Also try panel vendors like Dynata or PatientLink who specialize in health audiences.
