NAVIGATING YOUR HEALTHCARE JOURNEY: Lessons Learned to Get the Care you Need and Deserve

By Charlene Rothkopf, MA and Z. Colette Edwards, MD, MBA

Navigating the healthcare system can be one of the most difficult and complicated journeys you can take. If you are facing an acute illness or living with a chronic condition and finding it difficult to make your way through the healthcare system—not sure of the right type of doctor you need, or the right place to go for help, or perhaps you are uncertain about how your health insurance works—this book can help you, the patient or caregiver, gain the knowledge and confidence to advocate for yourself (and your loved ones) and obtain the care you deserve throughout your unique healthcare journey. We offer no medical advice, nor do we promote one type of treatment, clinician, or institution over another; we provide you with information and further resources to guide you through the process.
