The University of South Carolina’s Patient Engagement Studio (PES) brings together
patients and caregivers, community groups, health system innovators and clinicians,
and academic researchers to produce meaningful research and innovation that advances
health and research outcomes.
“When researchers and health system innovators listen to patients share their experiences,
knowledge and stories about their health conditions, it changes the way they approach
their research. This is the heart and soul of the patient engagement — patients, researchers
and innovators working together to make research better and improve the health of
our families, friends, communities and ourselves.”
Ann Blair Kennedy, Patient Engagement Studio Director
