Host and owner of The Cavu Group, Leslie Short, interviews Cynthia Overton, PHD.

Cynthia Overton, PhD, is an author, speaker, and advocate for person-centered care. Her perspective is shaped by her experience after a rare spinal cord injury led to seven weeks in three hospitals, where she sought high-quality care, negotiated with insurance companies, relearned to walk, and transitioned into life with a disability. That journey inspired her book, Clear Cane Chronicles: Shaping the Future of Healthcare Through Person-Centered Care, and ongoing work to develop a digital companion to support people navigating care beyond the clinic.
