Join us with our guest Linda Jablonski, MSN, BSN, BC-RN, as we discuss becoming an effective self-advocate and how to advocate for others. It is about asking the right questions, when to seek clarification when topics are not understood and how to make sure their values and goals are part of the discussion.For a significant percentage of people facing any serious illness, becoming an effective self-advocate poses a range of challenges. Get a piece of paper and pencil ready, the iPad works well also, and a few notes will go a long way in the path of advocating in healthcare.
