Advisors
All our members are “Advisors” — we exist to make healthcare work for you, for all of us. Our “Expert Advisors” are leaders in society and in healthcare who are lending their expertise and support to this cause of making healthcare about patients. They are great people and have their own moving patient stories, which we have asked them to share with you. They too are Patients United for healthcare “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” If they represent an organization that has contributed to this organization in some way we have created a link to their “Supporting Org” page.
Lisa Berry Blackstock
Patient Advocate |
Lisa has been a pioneer in taking on all of healthcare to make it work for people in the real world, one patient at a time, as a full-time, professional patient advocate. With a front-row, bedside seat, time after time, she has experienced the full scope of the patient experience and what it takes to successfully navigate the increasingly complex maze of modern healthcare. It takes a patient advocate.
