“I am a health care executive who happens to be a patient, caregiver, and advocate,” Stacy Hurt explained to me in a Zoom chat we shared on 31 May. I asked her to meet with me to discuss her professional news update: being appointed Parexel’s first Patient Ambassador. My Zoom invitation to Stacy was a very convenient excuse for me to catch up with a friend in the field: we have known each other since Stacy started to grow her health-social media presence on Twitter.

Have you ever run a 5K race? In its simplest form, you put on running shoes, head to the start line, place one foot in front of the other, and go. At the end of the race, you check your time. How well did you run? How much better can you get? Unless you won the race (not us!) there is no easy way to tell. You need more information combining personal performance details with the time it took to complete the race and how well others ran.
