Patient advocates

CNN ran a moving story about a cancer patient who took her diagnosis and used it to propel herself to start a foundation to advocate for other patients. You can see the story here: http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/01/30/bg.paf.founder/index.html.

The Patient Advocate Foundation helps patients navigate the complex worlds of doctors and treatments. And the people who work for the Foundation help patients find their voice.
