Robby Spring: Patient engagement shaping the future of healthcare
Robby Spring, Principal Consultant, posted the following on LinkedIn:
“Over the past month, I had the privilege of attending several patient-centered events, each highlighting the importance of patient engagement and collaboration in shaping the future of healthcare.
At the Patient Engagement Forum, it was valuable to participate both in my professional capacity with HealthPartners – PartenaireSanté and as a patient. Huge thanks to Kimberley Hanson and Ursula Mann for organizing such a meaningful and productive event. I was especially moved by Roi Shternin and Sandra Elia, who shared their experiences with such vulnerability and grace—reminding us why we do this work.
At Patients Redefining the Future of Healthcare in Canada, hosted by Save Your Skin Foundation and Psoriasis Canada (cc Louise Binder, Leah Stephenson, and Antonella Scali), the packed agenda led to powerful discussions and working groups. I found the conversations around access and security of healthcare data particularly relevant.
More than ever, we’re seeing the value we bring as patients – not only in advocating for ourselves but in having a seat at the table within the health and life sciences ecosystem. My own lived experience has drastically changed the way I approach both life and work. Meeting others in this space, learning from them, and working alongside them reinforces how essential it is to keep the needs of patients at the centre of everything we do.”
