Opportunity Purpose
Lung health services save lives and improve quality of life, but many people don’t know they are at high risk for getting lung diseases.

Details
Ten community advisors will attend and participate in online meetings. There are four meetings scheduled approximately one month apart. The meetings will be designed to understand community perspectives in adapting a risk-communication platform for lung health. We will communicate with partners by email or by phone between meetings and there might be documents sent to read before some meetings.

Where those of us in the room may have debated policy or wording, patient voices made sure patients were top of mind. And as a result, significant improvements were made to simplify something that was otherwise complex. Patient voices at the table bring us back to reality in terms of what we are trying to achieve.
