“Patient Advocacy is still an emerging field and Nancy is among those who serve as a Mentor and leads national calls for our professional organization. Coaching and mentoring come naturally for her, along with her positive energy, vast knowledge of the area, and available resources. All of this combined, provided me critical information to help start my own independent patient advocacy business.”
