I can’t work out whether anyone could nominate ME Action, S4ME, or other actual patient orgs, but perhaps some of our research and/or clinical places or individuals who listen carefully.

Or non-patient advocates.

I don’t seem to know his handle, but Brian Vastag would be an excellent nominee for the Innovative Patient award.
