Independent private professional
patient advocacy as a career
has begun to
blossom in recent years as more
and more
Americans found it difficult to fend for
themselves when accessing medical care.
Today there are several hundred private patient
advocates across the United States, and more men
and women are joining their ranks every day.
In recognition of their successful work for
patients of all ages, with a wide variety of
diagnoses and challenges, private professional patient advocates
will be
honored in March each year.
• We have set up
a special page for members
of the media to access the information they
may need.
• We invite you to
read these advocate profiles,
patients' stories and more.
We're sure
you'll agree that private patient advocates
deserve your respect and this honor. |
