THE IMPATIENT PATIENT: LESSONS ON ADVOCACY FOR WOMEN IN HEALTH

By Susan Manber, Chief Patient Officer, Publicis Health

As a cancer survivor, Susan Manber believes her ability to advocate for herself is what saved her life. Now, a newly minted Chief Patient Officer in advertising, she believes her role is to use communications to save lives—equipping people with the information they need to advocate for themselves and the ones they love. Pulling from a storied career in advertising as Chief Strategy Officer at Digitas Health, a deeply personal experience with cancer, and a new position as Chief Patient Officer, Susan Manber explains the role advocacy plays in culture, how to advocate for yourself and others, and unpack why advocacy is more important than ever as we navigate this Brave New World.

Watch Sue’s keynote presentation, “The Impatient Patient: Lessons on Advocacy for Women in Health” at the 2020 Hall of Femme Awards below.
