🗣️ Today and tomorrow: We need your opinions and experiences to create a more quality and exquitable experience for patients living with neuro-related conditions.
Context: A group of is academic researchers, entrepreneurs advocates, equity and accessability advocates and community health providers* are working on NEURO360-a systems-change effort to build an inclusive innovation ecosystem building off of our region’s strengths in neuroscience. The ultimate goal is to improve patient outcomes in neuro related conditions and diseases. As someone who is very open about her own diagnoses, while being very aware of my priveldge in being able to access care, this project is incredibly close to my heart.
