That's where Perry lives and he has taken advantage of his location to work tirelessly to have patients included in the decision making that involves their own lives. Looking at recent events, I think he is being heard.

The goal is to make it all move faster. To state it in far too simple terms, Perry is suggesting the perspective and use of patients. Andy Grove is talking about speed of turn around, failures that aren't really failures at all, and the need for a new funding system for success.

Put these together, along with open mindedness, the FOX Foundation's innovation and the ever improving support, education, services and collaboration of PD organizations and there is truly a chance for change in our lifetime.
