What does it mean to advocate for someone you love during a healthcare journey? In this episode of Lighting the Path, Robin Shapiro defines patient advocacy and explores how caregivers can speak up, ask questions, and support the person in their care.
Robin and Jerry discuss how healthcare has changed over the years—and why advocacy matters more than ever. She offers practical tips for caregivers, describes signs that it may be time to bring in a professional advocate, and explains why an independent advocate is worth considering.
For caregiver checklists, Robin recommends The Care Partner Project . HealthAdvocateX is also hosting a free advance care planning webinar on October 7; registration is available at HealthAdvocateX.org .
