Rage. Grief. Hope.

Some of our most powerful advocacy movements begin with loss and a sense of anger.

In this month’s OpenDialog, Christian John Lillis, CEO and Co-Founder of The Peggy Lillis Foundation, shares his journey from grieving son who lost his mother to Clostridioides difficile (C.diff) to a ceaseless advocate for C. difficile patients and their families.

Whether you are a clinician, a researcher or an advocate for patients, this is your conversation.
And as promised: no jargon, no fluff. Just ideas worth your time.
