    This week on the NursePreneurs Podcast, we sit down with Claire Thevenot, the founder of Clarity Patient Advocates.
    Claire’s journey into healthcare advocacy is deeply personal—she is a second-career nurse with a background in business who faced breast cancer herself.
    It was through her own experience as a patient that Claire found a calling to help others navigate their healthcare challenges.
