Laura Bray is Chief Change Maker and founder of Angels for Change. Founded in October 2019, Angels for Change is a global volunteer supported non-profit organization. Their mission is to end drug shortages through advocacy, awareness, and a resilient supply chain.

Laura has advocated on behalf of patients on hold from treatment because of a lifesaving drug shortage and worked within the supply chain to build drug shortage awareness, proactive solutions, and resolve patient level shortages.

November 24, 2018, her daughter, Abby was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. In April of 2019, Abby needed a life-saving drug that was part of a prolonged global shortage. Laura realized that just because there is proven medical treatment does not mean a patient will receive it. Abby faced three different, protocol altering, drug shortages during her treatment.

Laura’s knowledge of supply chain, understanding of business and first-hand experience navigating life-saving drug shortages for her own child drives the Angles for Change mission. She is working to build a resilient supply chain, so no patient ever hears the words “we don’t have the drugs needed to save you” and no doctor is faced with delivering those words.
