Health Dialogues: Health Advocacy
Navigating the health care system challenges a family in the best of times. But, what if your family isn't around, or doesn't have the time to monitor your care? That's where the growing business of patient advocacy steps in, providing competent oversight to prevent medical mistakes and even save lives. Join the November edition of Health Dialogues as we discuss the growing trend of patient advocacy.
Host: Rachael Myrow
