A Guide to Self Advocacy
Why We’re Even Talking About Patient Advocacy
No one understands your health needs more than you. Whether rare, invisible, chronic, or disabled, you need to fight for the best care possible.
This module is designed to inspire you to stand up for yourself in healthcare. If you’re already doing that, then this module also gives you some important tools and tips for managing being chronically ill as well as making researching healthcare stuff easier. We mean to honor you and to validate the hard work you do fighting for what you need, so as always, tell us what else you need to see.

Listen to our Podcast Episodes about Self Advocacy
Patients Rising brings its unique and established brand of patient advocacy to a weekly podcast.
EPISODE SUMMARY: Restaurant menus list their prices. So why not hospitals? Unfortunately, patients usually don’t know the cost of their procedure or medication until they get the bill. Getting access to hospital pricing is also just as difficult as getting a hold of your own digital medical records. So how can patients take back control over their healthcare decisions?
On this episode, we discuss the ins and outs of price transparency models, and how to pass legislation that will put you in control of your finances and health.
