Join the Movement
Be the change. Make your voice heard. We need YOU!
Not only will we be fighting for you as patients, but we will continue to build out our advocacy and support services to empower you to effectively deal with “the machine” of healthcare until we change it. You will have an organization standing behind you, supporting you, providing resources and services to navigate an otherwise lonely, frightening, and frustrating experience that is “modern” healthcare today. Tell us what you need. Tell us what you want. Tell us what you love and what you hate in healthcare. As we grow we will continue to build out what will work best for you, for all of us.

How can you be the change?
- Join. Membership matters. Our voices need to be heard. We need to be represented. We should never be alone against the machine again. We need to fight for making healthcare about people again. Join for those you love and care about. It is when we stand and speak together that change is truly possible.
- Support. Money matters. Healthcare is HUGELY expensive. Donate proportionately to change this. Know that we are battling a healthcare industry that has poured over $10 billion just into lobbying our representatives in DC alone. We will change things as fast as resources enable us to.
- Spread the word. The more the mightier. There is strength in numbers. We are the patients. Healthcare only happens how it does because we allow it to. When we all start standing together for healthcare that works for us, things will change. We need lots of members.
- Activism. Be the change. Do something. We are increasingly providing ways for each us to be tangibly nvolved in changing healthcare – whether that is patient empowerment kits for navigating and changing a surgery experience, buying patient-sourced solutions, getting involved with your local healthcare system as a patient advocate, or a myriad of other things.
- Stay connected. We have a lot to do. Participate. Follow our communications. Be ready to take action as different projects come up. We will be working to enable you to be part of positive change in healthcare. Share your stories of challenges and triumphs as we make healthcare what it could and should be together.
Guidance for Joining and Supporting
Number
As you join this movement, consider the number of people you may be representing. We will ask.
Stories
Share your healthcare story, as well as the change you would like to be part of making happen. There will be opportunity in the sign-up process. We listen to everything you say, and may share your stories on this site, on social media, or with the media (protecting your privacy in the process of course). This is about real people in the real world.
Personal Services
Personal healthcare advocacy services (as distinct from all the advocacy work we do for our members) are a core part of what we do for you now, while we work on changing the rest of healthcare. We were initially bundling it into membership but it was too cumbersome, so membership is done separately from personal advocacy services (which we get to you for a ridiculously low rate as members).
What does a typical Join and Support look like? We have provided a lot of leeway so you can join in whatever way works best for you. But that leaves some feeling like they need some guidance, so...a typical Join and Support may look like:

Mary Smith joins, representing herself and 3 other members of her immediate family and opts to support at $30/month. She then purchases personal patient advocacy services for herself and her husband for $35/year each for help dealing with the craziness of healthcare.
For about $1/day Mary is being part of the needed change in healthcare for herself and her family. She has a national organization standing behind her and her family and fighting for them. For less than $3/month each, she and her husband have access to the services of a personal healthcare advocate. Whether it is a crazy medical bill in the mail, the need to find a specialist, or other things, a real human being advocate is only a phone call away. Mary and her family are never alone against the machine again.
