Advocating for
medically vulnerable persons
As a result of my experiences fighting for my sister Terri, I’ve devoted my life to advocacy for medically vulnerable persons.

I’m grateful for your willingness to learn how these vulnerable persons face denial/withdraw of care by their physicians, hospitals, and insurance companies—those very people and institutions that should be helping them.
