Many Voices, One Goal: The Power of Alliances

Patient Advocacy Voices

Cancer can be an isolating condition, so Meredith Cowden has made it her mission to ensure other patients are not alone. Meredith, a cancer survivor living with chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD), responded to adversity by forming the Meredith A. Cowden Foundation with her family to support and advocate for fellow transplant patients. The key to Meredith’s success is her ability to advocate and form a successful alliance of advocacy groups that strengthens their ability to help and advocate for the cGVHD community. In this episode, Sanofi host Eric Racine and co-host Angie Bricco discuss with Meredith the keys to forming successful advocacy group alliances that encourage communication and collaboration to effectively help meet patient needs.
