What does it mean to make a difference? Making a difference could mean that your sister has access to her ob/gyn, your father receives, and is reimbursed for, a breakthrough therapy, or your neighbor has to travel to only one medical facility to receive all of his cancer treatment.

You can help make a difference in healthcare by and giving of your time to help solve those problems that span across the nation or are right in your backyard. Is it hard work to make a difference? Yes, sometimes, but it can also be very rewarding and a lot of fun! Meeting new friends, learning new ideas, mastering new skills, and gaining a sense of accomplishment are all great reasons to volunteer.

Get involved by joining the Advocates Network! Through this volunteer advocates network, you will be informed of current state and federal initiatives that will affect the healthcare of Americans. By knowing the key points, you will be able to effectively bring your voice to legislators who sit in a position to make that difference happen.

You can sign up by using the enrollment form found on the National Patient Advocate Foundation website.
