Honoring the 2025 Excellence in Patient Advocacy Award – The Max Foundation
The Max Foundation shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Because patient advocacy is at the core of our mission, each year we highlight a team member working in-country who has contributed tremendously to increasing awareness of programs on the ground.
Today, we celebrated Geraldine Botha, recipient of the 2025 Excellence in Patient Advocacy Award, at a special live event in Seattle alongside colleagues and board members.
Serving as a Program Coordinator in South Africa for nine years, Geraldine’s work reminds us that community make hope possible.
When sharing stories, she consistently lifts up not only the voices of patients, but also those of physicians, caregivers, and partners.
Most importantly, she helps us see patient care as a shared journey that’s rooted in dignity.
Congratulations, Geraldine, on this well‑deserved recognition.”
