My Survivor Support Advocacy Qualifications
I am a survivor of HEDS, MCAS, HyperPOTA, Stage 4 Endometriosis, Surgical Accidents, Infertility
Elizabeth’s journey to motherhood through both adoption and IVF has given her a profound understanding of the financial and emotional toll of infertility. A passionate advocate, she combines professional expertise with lived experience navigating complex medical challenges, including the lasting impact of a surgical accident that paralyzed her dominant arm and the devastating consequences of an inadequately disclosed black box medication warning. Diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hyperadrenergic POTS, and other rare conditions, Elizabeth intimately understands the frustration of medical uncertainty and systemic barriers to care. Her mission is to empower patients with knowledge, autonomy, and the support they need to navigate their own healthcare journeys.
Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
Elizabeth Lee’s path to patient advocacy was not one she chose—it was one she survived. Her journey has been shaped by both the joy and heartbreak of reproductive medicine, the devastation of medical trauma, and the relentless pursuit of answers in a healthcare system that too often fails the patients who need it most. She has lived the frustration of being dismissed, the exhaustion of fighting for care, and the fear of an uncertain future. But she has also experienced the power of knowledge, the strength of resilience, and the profound impact of having someone in your corner when it feels like the system is working against you.

Her passion for advocacy began with her own battle with infertility. Becoming a mother through both adoption and IVF, she saw firsthand the emotional and financial burdens that come with reproductive challenges—the endless waiting, the crushing losses, the impossible decisions made without enough information or support. She realized that too many patients were left to navigate this journey alone, without clear guidance or an advocate to help them understand their options.

But it wasn’t just infertility that shaped her calling. A catastrophic surgical accident left her dominant arm paralyzed, requiring 18 months of rehabilitation to regain even partial function. A prescription medication with a black box warning—one her doctors never told her about—left her body permanently altered. Years of unexplained pain, medical gaslighting, and misdiagnoses eventually led to life-altering diagnoses of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hyperadrenergic POTS, Stage 4 Endometriosis, and other complex conditions. She knows what it means to be unheard. She knows what it means to be failed by a system that should be saving lives, not forcing patients to fight for their own care.

Elizabeth became a patient advocate because no one should have to go through that fight alone. She understands the desperation of searching for answers, the heartbreak of feeling like no one is listening, and the loneliness of navigating a complicated medical landscape without a guide. She has lived it, and now she dedicates her life to making sure others don’t have to.

Her mission is simple but profound: to give patients and their families the knowledge, support, and advocacy they need to take control of their healthcare journeys. No one should feel powerless in their own care. Elizabeth stands beside every patient, ensuring they are seen, heard, and given the chance to make truly informed choices—because she knows, more than anyone, how much that matters.

Additional Skills
Elizabeth Lee brings a rare combination of professional expertise, deep personal experience, and an unwavering commitment to patient empowerment. Her unique qualifications make her an invaluable resource for individuals and families facing complex medical challenges, particularly in the fields of reproductive medicine, infertility, high-risk pregnancy, perinatal bereavement, and rare or chronic illnesses.

Her extensive knowledge of reproductive healthcare spans the entire spectrum—from navigating IVF, donor conception, and surrogacy to supporting patients with pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or difficult prenatal diagnoses. Unlike many healthcare professionals who only understand these experiences from a clinical perspective, Elizabeth has personally endured the emotional, financial, and medical realities of infertility and high-risk pregnancy. She understands the overwhelming choices patients must make, the uncertainty that lingers after every test result, and the grief that comes with reproductive challenges. She also recognizes the systemic barriers that prevent people from accessing timely, ethical, and affordable fertility care—and she is dedicated to helping patients overcome them.

Beyond reproductive health, Elizabeth’s lived experience with rare and complex medical conditions sets her apart. She has personally fought for accurate diagnoses, challenged dismissive providers, and navigated the fragmented healthcare system to find specialists who truly understand conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hyperadrenergic POTS, and chronic cerebrospinal fluid leaks. She knows how difficult it is to advocate for yourself when doctors don’t have answers, when insurance denies necessary care, or when symptoms are misunderstood or minimized. Her deep familiarity with these struggles allows her to guide patients and families through the often-maddening process of securing proper medical attention, connecting with experts, and building a care team that truly listens.

Elizabeth also has a profound understanding of medical trauma, both as a survivor and as an advocate. She has experienced the devastating consequences of medical errors, such as the surgical accident that left her dominant arm paralyzed and the prescription with a black box warning that caused irreversible damage. These experiences fuel her commitment to ensuring that patients are not only informed about their care but also fully aware of potential risks, treatment alternatives, and long-term implications—something she herself was never given the opportunity to do.

Her passion lies in helping patients and families regain control in a system that often leaves them feeling powerless. Whether it’s navigating insurance battles, preparing for critical medical appointments, coordinating care across multiple specialists, or simply providing emotional support in overwhelming moments, Elizabeth is an unwavering advocate. She understands that medical journeys are not just about procedures and diagnoses—they are about people, their families, their futures, and their right to make informed, autonomous decisions about their health.

For those facing infertility, high-risk pregnancies, complex diagnoses, or systemic obstacles in healthcare, Elizabeth is more than just an advocate—she is a guide, a protector, and a relentless champion for their right to compassionate, competent, and patient-centered care.
