Elizabeth Franklin: Our next webinar dives into “generative AI” and potential implications for the patient advocacy community.

Elizabeth Franklin, shared the following post by Bernadette (Chan) Wang, Senior Director, Head, US Public Affairs and Patient Advocacy – Neurology at Sanofi, adding the following:

“Earlier this year, we formed a Health Equity Acceleration Community for US advocacy groups to connect, share best practices, and enhance their impact on underserved patients. In our recent forum, we explored the important topic of “building trust” within these communities, drawing from your invaluable expertise. Thank you for sharing your insights! See report here.

Our next webinar dives into “generative AI” and potential implications for the patient advocacy community: Wednesday, October 18, from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM EST. Register using the this link.”

Quoting Bernadette (Chan) Wang’s post:

“This summer, Sanofi held its quarterly Health Equity Community of Practice (CoP) webinar with 120 US patient advocates on Gaining Trust Through Local Partnerships and Programs. Discussing best practices and experiences in health equity programs, we identified 10 pragmatic actions organizations can take to build trust in underserved communities. CoP participants also curated a list of resources helpful in their health equity programs and for building trust.

I want to thank all the advocates who joined our discussion, and particularly, Eucharia Borden from Family Reach, Amanda Montague from Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA), and Lynda Mitchell from Allergy & Asthma Network (AAN) for sharing their best practices and lessons learned about building trust through their programs.
