Their role extends beyond providing support and resources; they are pivotal in influencing healthcare policy at both federal and state levels. This involvement is essential for prioritizing patient's needs and rights in legislative decisions. #patientadvocacy #policy #healthcare

IMPORTANT-ATTENTION ALL PATIENT ADVOCATES For the first time in a long time, public awareness about advocacy is gaining a lot of traction, resulting in a dramatic increase in inquiries. If you advocate for patients and families, please join GNA, the largest and most visible national directory for Independent Patient Advocates. For years, this profession has been complaining about the number 1 problem: How to get clients. That is no longer the problem. Today, we need more advocates to get themselves out there so people who need you can find you. If you are an advocate, NOW is the time to get listed. It's free. You don't need to be a BCPA. You don't need a fancy website. The phones are ringing. GNA advocates are busy. We need your help. Please don't delay any longer. We're at a turning point and we must collectively meet the increasing need for our services. #HealthcareAdvocacy #HealthcareAdvocacy #patientadvocate #patientadvocacy #independentpatientadvocate #patientadvocacynow #patientsafety #RNPA #casemanagement #LegalNurseConsultant #travelingnurses #raredisease #peersupport #DischargePlanning #aginglifecare #GeriatricCare #CareCoordination https://lnkd.in/g-nsshGF
