MONTREAL, Oct. 23, 2019 /CNW/ - AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV), a
global research and development-based biopharmaceutical company,
announced today that Suzanne
Campbell, Senior Brand Manager, Dermatology was inducted
into the Canadian Healthcare Marketing Hall of Fame.
The Canadian Healthcare Marketing Hall of Fame awards were
established to honor healthcare marketers who have contributed to
the industry avocation and are an inspiration to others.
Suzanne Campbell credits her
success to the team around her, which encompasses a motto that has
governed her career—Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM). "I
constantly see that any idea or strategy gets so much better when
you have the brain power of multiple colleagues and multiple
perspectives," said Campbell. "And that collaboration makes any
project more robust."
Suzanne was recognized for her work in hidradenitis suppurativa
(HS). HS is a painful, chronic, systemic, immune-mediated skin
disease which affects between 1 to 3% of the global population
however the diagnosis is often delayed or the condition is
misdiagnosed with the true prevalence unknown.1 HS is
known to produce lesions in the skin that are inflamed (swollen),
recurrent and chronic (lasting for an extended period of time). HS
can have both a psychological and physical impact.
"When I started meeting people with HS, their patient journey,
which had been a very negative one in the healthcare system, became
my passion project."
Stéphane Lassignardie, President, AbbVie Canada added: "We are
very proud of Suzanne for this important acknowledgement. It is
testament of our industry recognizing the importance of finding
solutions for patients' where there are no options and real medical
need for solutions."
