How Might We? How Fresh Perspectives Can Change Outcomes in Overlooked Conditions
When it comes to meeting healthcare’s biggest challenges, sometimes the best approach begins with curiosity. Dr. Jean Wright, MD, MPH, Chief Executive Officer of the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Foundation, has made an immense impact on the COPD community and knows firsthand how to bring new solutions that move the needle for poorly understood patient communities.
In this episode, Sanofi host Eric Racine is joined by Kate Tighe, Head of US Public Affairs and Patient Advocacy, Immunology at Sanofi, to discuss with Dr. Wright how shifting perspectives and sparking innovation can change outcomes for patients with historically overlooked conditions. Dr. Wright describes her straightforward yet creative approach to tackling seemingly inscrutable problems, how she handles the most difficult aspects of leadership, and why charting a path toward refreshing solutions can accelerate progress.
