What does it take to advocate effectively for ourselves and our loved ones as we navigate the complexities of aging and healthcare?

My guest is Cheryl Field, a seasoned professional with over three decades in nursing, specializing in rehabilitation and post-acute care. Cheryl's journey is in healthcare with a focus on quality, compliance, and patient advocacy. With roles ranging from clinical director to Chief Product Officer, and speaking at state and national conventions, Cheryl brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective to our conversation today.

Cheryl is a two-time international best-selling author whose recent book, Prepared! A Healthcare Guide for Aging Adults, offers a simple yet powerful system of advocacy that anyone can follow. Her approach simplifies complex systems with analogies and personal stories, making daunting topics accessible and engaging.

In our podcast, we discussed the vital role of advocacy in improving senior care outcomes, strategies to develop support systems to prevent caregiver burnout, expert insights on navigating the Medicare system, and approaches for simplifying complex healthcare information to empower caregivers in making informed decisions. Thank you, Cheryl!
