Well done to Plus Fort and ARA!
The 1st leg of the Prevent2care Tour took place on June 16 in Marseille. The Prevent2care Tour promotes and supports associations proposing innovative preventive healthcare projects.
Following a pitch session in front of a panel of experts, the Plus Fort and ARA associations were each awarded €5,000 by Ramsay Sante Foundation, Pfizer Innovation France and INCO, partners of the Prevent2care Tour. Among the 6 finalists in this year's competition, the jury rewarded these two associations from the SUD Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur region for their projects to promote preventive healthcare among young people and caregivers.
"The more associations we meet, the more associative projects we support, the more impressed we are by the inventiveness and commitment of these structures. Thanks to their local knowledge and understanding of people's needs and expectations, they help to reduce inequalities in access to preventive healthcare. At Ramsay Sante Foundation, we are proud to be embarking on our 3rd Prevention Tour and to support this action in the public interest," emphasizes Sylvie Arzelier, General Secretary of Ramsay Sante corporate Foundation.
