Alyssa Wostrel - Building patient advocacy groups - Integrative Wisdom

Alyssa Wostrel wants to show the healthcare system who is most important: the patients. Through various advocacy groups, she promotes the idea that this will act as the spark of change. The Interview: IHPC is a health policy group, so we have a professional membership. We don't have a consumer branch, but there are other organizations that do --AIHM, the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine, is working on their consumer division. We’re advancing the field now professionally so that there's going to be more consumer outreach and consumer access, so that chapters are going to be developing where there are "friends" of these kinds of policy and advocacy organizations -- because there are lots and lots of people who want to be engaged and want to make a donation of time, or talent, or treasure. Those channels will be more obvious as time goes on. Covermycare.org is an organization where those donations can be made. And there's some state-to-state, grassroots organizations of patient advocacy. We can connect people to patient advocacy groups. It's really through patient advocacy grassroots movements that this is going to start to spark more activity. *The views and thoughts expressed in this video are those of the contributors and for informational purposes only.
