“Through our partnership with Dr. Eli Green and his team, J&J has been able to effectively transform our organization’s culture and values resulting in innovative LGBTQIA+ health equity initiatives. Eli developed a customized “Champion” training program, empowering colleagues of various scientific and medical backgrounds to uplift the voices of transgender and non-binary patients. The outcome of this program will have long lasting business impact to ensure all patients have access to our life saving medicines. One of the concrete outputs of the “Champions” program was enabling a study team to create one the first transgender inclusive prostate cancer clinical study protocols, serving as a foundation for future clinical studies.”
