Elizabeth F. Franklin: An amazing Trust, Inclusion, and Equity Summit at Sanofi

Elizabeth F. Franklin shared on LinkedIn:

“I can’t say it better than our fantastic leader Eric Racine. This week has been amazing at Sanofi with our Trust, Inclusion, and Equity Summit. Not only did we hear from the indefatigable Erik Alva, Frans Johansson, and Uche Blackstock, but we also had the extraordinary opportunity to present the Health Equity Accelerator Awards to our patient advocacy partners working in communities across the country to improve the lives of all people. In oncology, these awards went to Go2 for Lung Cancer and the International Myeloma Foundation for their innovative approaches to alleviating health inequities.”
