The @TerryFoxCanada , @tfri_research and @marathonofhope have figured out to actually engage patients. Patients are not simply "voices" or an after thought. We are partners. We are valued. We are part of #TeamCanadaOfCancerResearch
If you are an organization and wonder what true patient engagement is, I'd highly recommend looking at what Terry Fox is doing. They are doing it right and should be emulated.
