Ergomed’s Patient Engagement Team Embraces Patient-Centricity
At Ergomed, patient-centricity is not just a buzzword; it’s our guiding principle. Our dedicated Patient Engagement Team is involved in every stage of clinical trial design and execution, listening to and meeting patients’ needs. We work closely with study sponsors to connect with patients and their advocates and to educate patients and care partners about the clinical trial experience.
Team Member Spotlight:
Paula Orandash, Director of Patient Engagement
Our Director of Patient Engagement, Paula Orandash, brings a wealth of unique experience to her role. She has deep patient advocacy and family support expertise and recently served as a Global Patient Engagement Lead for a midsized pharma company.
In this role, she worked closely with families facing challenging diagnoses and oversaw all patient engagement activities associated with rare disease gene therapy trials. Her deep understanding of patient needs and commitment to patient-centricity make her an invaluable team leader.
This unique blend of hands-on patient and family support from the advocate’s and drug developer’s perspectives makes our Director of Patient Engagement’s insights particularly impactful and relevant. Paula maintains close connections with patient and caregiver communities, putting the patient at the center of our work.
