I was saddened to hear the news from Dr Francis Collins, a friend, mentor, and tireless champion of Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) on his cancer diagnosis. I am grateful for (and humbled by) his generosity, even on a tough day like today, to make his journey public and re-light the fire under all of us to accelerate better health outcomes for everyone. Learn more about his journey from WaPo, linked below. We're all rooting for you, Francis! 💪 https://lnkd.in/eG__p7uV

2moWe are all saddened by the news of Dr. Collins's health problems. We are all rooting for him! He has been an incredible supporter of patients fighting for better healthcare. You can feel his compassion in this interview he did with my friend Doug Oliver, MSW, about patients advocating for the acceleration of regenerative medicine. https://worldstemcellsummit.com/2018/01/18/pioneers-of-hope-patient-advocate-doug-olivers-interview-of-dr-francis-collins-director-national-institutes-of-health-nih/
