MEET OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM

A partnership built on a passion for patient care

CONNECT was born of a need to fill a gap that Lorie and Carolyn saw in the healthcare system. From their extensive experience working with the medical community, and on a personal level navigating the healthcare system for their family members, they quickly realized the disparity between ‘patient outcome’ often spoken about among healthcare professionals, and the reality of the patient experience. They saw an opportunity to educate and empower patients to be advocates for their own care.

Their complimentary skills and backgrounds, along with a long history of working together, enable them to deliver a unique perspective and dedication to clients, and ultimately patients.

Carolyn Pritchard

Carolyn has extensive experience working with healthcare professionals and patients alike and is driven by a passion for patient care. With a clinical background and experience as a nurse, along with 15 years in the medical communications industry, including years at AstraZeneca where she gained a deep understanding of the commercialization of medicine and medical communications, Carolyn brings a unique perspective of the healthcare industry, and specifically the patient care journey.

Lorie Spence

With over 20 years experience in the healthcare industry, Lorie has witnessed firsthand the evolution from small molecules and a single physician prescriber, to precision medicine models and a more holistic approach to medicine centred on patient care and advocacy. Leveraging her business and communications background, she co-founded Bridge as a way to help healthcare professionals adapt and evolve within this rapidly changing environment of therapeutic advances. With CONNECT, Lorie is excited to be able to extend this evolution of care to patients for better disease management and outcome.
