Partnering for Patients Forum: Donna Appell

"The road to best health outcomes for patients takes a GPS, bridges, streets, pavement, etc. Without working in partnerships, the journey is nothing but a bunch of potholes."

— Donna Appell, Executive Director and Founder, Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Network


To build on conversations from the 2021 Partnering for Patients Forum, this edition of Power of Ideas invites scientists, patient advocates, and health-care industry leaders to share their thoughts on what partnering for patients means to them.
