AnnMarie — email me at StepwisePatientAdvocacy@gmail.com to discuss!!!

WELCOME! Nancy, we're glad you're here!!!

We would love you to start a conversation about your areas of expertise — whether in the special care and aging space about our providign advocacy for our aging population, or ehre in medical guidance general that is informative — or better yet opens a discussion — about caring for all of us dysautonomics in the world (i'm an O.H. patient and my daughter is a hypertensive non-hyperadrenergic POTS patient)!

Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!
I do this part time, about 10 hours a week for context. My business is 3.5 years old. My clients mainly find me through GNA and word of mouth/referrals.

I offer a free inital consultation to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. There have been a few times where the free consut doesn't lead anywhere for me, and that's okay.

I do know some folks have built referral channels through building relationships with proivders direclty, or through marketing to care facilities.

THANK YOU @sylvia reisman, for such a GREAT dynamic question.

As we move from 'pre-launch' to really driving traffic to the site, I so hope you get a TON of response. I'm certainly eager to see it.

Thank you!

Anne, thanks so much for sharing your input! It's so helpful.

Thank you also for volunteering your time to support our bloggers!

This is SUCH a powerful topic. Thank you for bringing it forward here and for sharing your podcast. I look forward to listening to it in the near future.

Advocates who want to learn more about #MedicalTourism, please make sure to register for NAHAC's webinar on January 20, 2026. A lot of great information to come!

Kimberlie — we have several advocates in this area. You can find three of them by searching the GNA site by doing a problem/condition search for tourism or for «medical tourism» in quotes. I believe we have at least 2 more, but sadly their profiles don't have these keywords, and i can't recall what they might say. (Which is why we push so hard about keywords now, in onboarding!)

I’m a sole proprietor and chose that because LLC is a tax basis and not an adequate liability shield. Just testing here!

First, thanks for helping to test PA360 for us!

I opened an LLC. Although I am not actively building out my client list, as most of my time is spent working for GNA, but I often have kept a small client list.

The best resources along the way have been fellow advocates, who generously have shared their «what worked for me, what didn't»s, encouraged me to keep going and not be intimidated by the business aspect of ..well, running a business, and who willingly have shared their professional expertise when a case felt too big, or perhaps had an aspect I wasn't as comfortable with as the rest of the case. It gave me lived experiences that showed me just how invaluable having a community of advocate colleagues can be.

Thank you! this post is HUGELY helpful!

Lynn your post provided me additional insight that I will use to continue to support a patient with an AKA, very minimal stump, who thus far has been unable to wear a prosthesis. Than you for posting your heartfelt story!

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your truth that «progress is rarely linear». That is a core reality, that once embraced, patients will heal more fully.

Thank you for sharing this, Lynn! Your story perfectly explains the fear, patience, and resilience that so many amputees feel but struggle to put into words. Love your work!

Lynn,
This content is amazing — easy to consume, makes so much sense, so helpful.

Also — it makes huge sense to me. As a rare genetics patient with extreme hypermobility in my feet (among other joints) — we have had to do a lot of work to protect the «not bad foot» while having to rehab the «bad» side.

Thank you again for sharing such great information.

Lynn, Thank you so much for sharing this content. It's incredibly valuable.

Thank you! That is very helpful information and timely!

Thanks so much for sharing all of these, Lynn!
