Healthcare Unhinged: The Making of an Advocate

Liz Helms 7765 Back Cover Summary Helms takes us through her unfiltered, uplifting story of chronic pain and severe depression to becoming a nationally recognized coalition builder and health care advocate as she battled to change a system that had failed millions. With stark honesty, she describes her personal struggle for appropriate care and the redemption she found challenging some of Americaís most powerful, for-profit corporations on behalf of patient fairness and access to affordable, appropriate standards of quality care for all. ìThe power of oneî an often over-used clichÈ, but the soulís message of Unhinged; one woman joined by many to face down one dragon at a time; one voice joined by a chorus to alter forever, the conversation. Helms plots a roadmap for anyone who, even while questioning their own value or power, can move mountains unimagined by owning their voice, their sense of justice and their purpose. Armed with truth, directed purpose and willful respect, Helms proves that the ëLionís dení is but a myth, waiting to be challenged and exposed as such on behalf of all concerned.
