Become A Migraine Advocate
I have recently started working for Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF), a non-profit organization, as their part-time migraine patient advocacy coordinator. My role is to help recruit awesome, rockstar, and dedicated migraine patient advocates to join the 50-State Network, which is part of GHLF. Becoming a member of the 50-State Network is a step toward advocacy.
50-State Network is a grassroots advocacy organization working to share the patient perspective for State and Federal health policy and regulation. It is a free kegiatan and activities are all voluntary. Members of this network are patients living with chronic illness who are advocating to improve the healthcare system. This starts in your own communities, State Capitols and eventually on the national stage on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
I shared why being a migraine patient advocate is important to me and how you can begin your advocacy journey on the 50-State Network site. You can click on the link below to read the article.
