Description

On this episode, I will be speaking with Erica Courtenay-Mann, an advocate for patients with Sarcoidosis. She gives talks regarding what it's like to live with chronic illnesses & she is involved in the Women of Color Committee and the ACTe Now! Patient Committee. She is a strong voice to raise awareness about the importance of clinical trials, especially in communities that are  underrepresented.  With each step taken towards more inclusive clinical trials and the data gained from them, we grow closer to a better understanding of how “snowflake" diseases  progress.
