I’m a health policy consultant who spent more than 20 years seeking solutions for the disabling pain and fatigue that interrupted a promising career as a journalist and editor and has spent the last 6 years caring for a parent with dementia. These experiences have helped me develop the ability to:
- analyze large amounts of information from different perspectives
- develop options for people of all socioeconomic backgrounds
- find practical solutions based on real life and real science
- create public communication strategies to reach a broader audience
- set standards that reduce costs without harming people
- help you find bipartisan solutions
My work is gaining national and international acclaim from doctors, patients, patient advocates, authors, and thought leaders in several fields. I have been a Top Health Blogger and Patient Expert for Wellsphere.com, which is now part of The Health Central Network. This blog placed in the Top 100 and was voted Best in Category for the Healthy Living Community in Wellsphere’s 2008 People’s HealthBlogger Awards. I also conducted an online seminar titled “Secrets of Paying for Medical Care” during National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week 2008.
My first book, Unmasking a Diagnosis: How to Find Help for a Confusing Chronic Illness Without Filing for Bankruptcy, received accolades from patients, policymakers, and patient advocates. The book is no longer available through commercial outlets. Contact me if you’re interested in purchasing a copy.
