APPIS Innovator Program
As the role of the patient community in advocating and supporting its members gets bigger, there is also a greater need to support them with capability-building programs and tools.
One of the key thrusts of the Alliance and Partnerships of Patient Innovation and Solutions (APPIS) Initiative is to recognize and support patient organizations that have found innovative ways to elevate and amplify patients' voice. This year, we are launching the APPIS Innovator Program to further partner with select patient organizations and help them scale even further and continue to improve outcomes for healthcare consumers.
