Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My husband was born with Marfan syndrome, acquired diabetes, and later died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In his final years, I left the job market to care for him. Our time together and of course the health care experiences that he had, inform my work.
At my first post-college job, at minimum wage in a busy hospital lobby, I began to realize the gap between expectations and reality in medicine. From there, I logged decades in health care, insurance, and manufacturer settings, launching new therapies while also helping patients and clinicians make the best use of existing options.
In each role, I tried to bring the "point of care" into the conference room. Now I also bring my conference room experiences to wherever health and life choices are framed and made.
