GRYT Health and Bristol Myers Squibb Co. developed the COVID Advocacy Exchange, a virtual platform to connect patient advocacy organizations, patients, policy makers, healthcare practitioners, and industry in the exchange of information.
The COVID Advocacy Exchange will invite close to 100 global and local advocacy organizations, spanning disease states, to virtually meet and support patients with serious diseases while navigating the current COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual platform will provide access to data and information, as well as the opportunity to participate in weekly live, interactive sessions to foster discussion and collaboration.
The virtual platform will provide advocacy organizations and patients with access to materials and information offering support across the following disease areas: oncology, cardiovascular, immunology & fibrosis, hematology and multiple sclerosis. Participants will have access to materials from Bristol Myers Squibb, other advocacy organizations and third-party experts, including curated best practices, white papers, peer-reviewed articles and multimedia content addressing the unique advocacy challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic for advocates and patients. Resources to address digital fundraising and other issues exacerbated by the pandemic will also be available.
Exhibitor information and the first weekly live, interactive session will be available here, launching the week of May 18. To register for free access to the platform and the series, visit www.covidadvocacyexchange.com.
