Ginger Watko

Hi everyone, I’m Ginger. I’m a Registered Nurse with a Master’s in Nursing and over 40 years of experience in healthcare, and I’ve been working in rural healthcare since 2012. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges these communities face—limited access to services, long travel distances, and navigating care across multiple systems. Much of my work has involved helping patients manage complex conditions while coordinating care and overcoming these barriers. Advocacy has naturally been a big part of my work, and in 2026 I decided to focus on it fully by starting my own patient advocacy practice. I’m especially interested in supporting rural and Medicare populations and look forward to connecting with others here.
