Monica Bertagnolli: Commemorating partnership with Voices For Our Fathers Legacy Foundation

Monica Bertagnolli shared the following on LinkedIn:

“We commemorated our partnership with the Voices For Our Fathers Legacy Foundation (VFOFLF) with a beautiful plaque dedication outside the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at NIH. It was so meaningful to hold the event in observance with the 50th year of the enactment of the 1974 National Research Act which established federal rules to protect participants who partner with us in research. Thank you to Lillie Tyson Head, President of VFOFLF, and all those who joined to reaffirm our commitment to fostering transparency and building lasting trust with the communities we serve.”
