Kevin Freiert @K_SalemOaks T1: Yes. You CAN do this. #patientchat #pinksocks #HCLDR @S4PM https://t.co/kAiHVVCsON | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 T1: Anyone can become an advocate and it’s all about sharing your patient journey. Know that your story is just as empowering as anyone else in the health space. #patientchat | |

Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp A1: JUST DO IT. Get online, try to connect with others, ask Qs. If you don’t get it, ask others. I’m still trying to understand exactly what an advocate does myself. #patientchat #btsm #pten | |
Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 I think it's important to embrace your own story and realize what is important for you (in terms of what to advocate for) . #passion makes a huge difference. #patientchat | |

Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 @ZHeatherChamp Couldn’t agree more! Never hesitate to ask questions and to learn from others! #patientchat | |
Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba @JamieRoger8 Same here, Jamie. I'm busy but well. How about you? #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 RT @JamieRoger8: I think it's important to embrace your own story and realize what is important for you (in terms of what to advocate for) . #passion makes a huge difference. #patientchat | |
Heather McCullen @H_SalemOaks There is no required quantity of advocacy you're required to do. Don't feel bad if you need to pull back and put your health first. #patientchat | |
Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 Great Advice. No one expects you to be an expert in anything other than your lived experiences when you first start out. #embrace the #journey #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 👍🙌💪 #patientchat | |
Bob Tufts @TuftsB @patientchat A1. You have within you a powerful narrative. Share it with your community. #patientchat | |
Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate @patientchat T1: Get connected with organizations that support your diagnosis. Get informed. Become active on social media #patientchat | |

Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh RT @TuftsB: @patientchat A1. You have within you a powerful narrative. Share it with your community. #patientchat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients A1: Be an active participant in treatment decisions. For some that means being more vocal while for others it's a quieter approach. Whichever your style, embrace it and be empowered! #patientchat | |

ISurvivor Lisa Deck @lbdeck @patientchat I encourage you to realize that sharing your story not only helps others but also makes you feel powerful. #patientchat | |
Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 @ShereesePubHlth I'm doing well, glad the seasons are finally changing. I do much better when I can get outdoors more. Just planning some upcoming conferences for @SalemOaks and our next travel/ life plans with my husband. #liveyourbestlife #patientchat #getoutdoors | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @TuftsB @patientchat Well said, Bob! #patientchat | |
Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @Srotberg15 And I still don’t get it. I want to advocate and travel to places like I see others do, but because destitute I don’t feel like im actually an advocate. #patientchat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @Srotberg15: 👍🙌💪 #patientchat | |
Maya Northen Augelli @mayanorthen A1: Be authentic, and be yourself. You bring to your advocacy what nobody does - your personal experiences, knowledge, stories. Know that YOU (as in you, personally, as you are) are the most valuable piece of you advocacy efforts. #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 RT @lbdeck: @patientchat I encourage you to realize that sharing your story not only helps others but also makes you feel powerful. #patientchat | |
Debbie Popp @DPoppGP T1: Start with advocating for yourself. Begin having open lines of communication with your medical team. Research every treatment, ask many questions. Share experiences with social media communities. #patientchat | |
Rozana Zaman @ZamanRozana @patientchat Leading a healthy lifestyle... exercise.... believe in yourself.... helping others ! #patientchat These are my advice for patients wanting to become advocates!!!! | |
Patient Chat @patientchat RT @lbdeck: @patientchat I encourage you to realize that sharing your story not only helps others but also makes you feel powerful. #patientchat | |
Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 2 (T2:) coming up...https://t.co/LU6GVBkYLX #patientchat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @lbdeck: @patientchat I encourage you to realize that sharing your story not only helps others but also makes you feel powerful. #patientchat | |
Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 #makeconnections with those around you. Often enough we don't share our story because we don't think we will be heard. #listen to others, tell them your #story. #relationships #humanity #patientchat | |
Patient Chat @patientchat T2: Are there any specific tactics that you have found successful during your advocacy work? #patientchat https://t.co/CxR7PVjq1a | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 @ZHeatherChamp I could imagine it can be frustrated but there are other ways to advocate without being there in person. This could be blogging, podcasts, articles, and social media. #patientchat | |
Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate @lbdeck @patientchat T1 - I agree. Getting informed not only helps you feel powerful, it puts you more in control and makes you a participant in your healthcare. #patientchat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @mayanorthen: A1: A1: Be authentic, and be yourself. You bring to your advocacy what nobody does - your personal experiences, knowledge, stories. Know that YOU (as in you, personally, as you are) are the most valuable piece of you advocacy efforts. #patientchat | |
Maya Northen Augelli @mayanorthen Connecting with others is huge. It's what moved me from being "someone sharing my personal story for whoever cared to listen" to actively being an advocate. #patientchat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T2: T2: Are there any specific tactics that you have found successful during your advocacy work? #patientchat https://t.co/CxR7PVjq1a | |
Rozana Zaman @ZamanRozana @Srotberg15 Yes! I do think that anyone can become an advocate #patientchat @Srotberg15 | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @mayanorthen: Connecting with others is huge. It's what moved me from being "someone sharing my personal story for whoever cared to listen" to actively being an advocate. #patientchat | |
Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate @patientchat T2: Listening and sharing stories. Helps to realize that you're not alone. #patientchat | |
Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh Good point. I tend to think of advocacy at the community level, but self-advocacy is vital - and can grow into community advocacy if you are so inclined. #PatientChat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 T2: Do your homework and know your audience when you advocate. Determine what your goal is and what message(s) you want to leave the audience. More importantly, what action plan do you want your audience to take after sharing your story. #patientchat | |
Bob Tufts @TuftsB @ZHeatherChamp @Srotberg15 Do whst you can when you can. Use social media to sptead your story, follow conference twiiter discussions to cinnrct with others on line. #patientchat | |
Marni Cartelli @Purrfectly_Rare A.1 #patientchat Do it! As a patient U already have more "advocacy" skills than you realize since you probably have been fighting for some sort of medical care all along It can be scary to try something new but it can b so rewarding as well | |
Trisha Bundy @bundytr5 RT @melissarvh: Just do it. Just take that first step. Start as slowly or as small as you would like & see where it leads you. #PatientChat | |
Trisha Bundy @bundytr5 RT @H_SalemOaks: There is no required quantity of advocacy you're required to do. Don't feel bad if you need to pull back and put your health first. #patientchat | |
ISurvivor Lisa Deck @lbdeck @patientchat I’m Lisa- a stroke survivor & #Moyamoya patient, @American_Stroke volunteer, @RareNewEngland advocate and @SistersAtHeart3 non-profit founder. Happy to be here for the #patientchat toda. #PatientExperience | |
Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 I wrote out the worst (in terms of my mental state) part of my story and used that to help me look forward. You don't need to be perfect, just be true to yourself. And if you need some #selfcare along the way, take a step back and do just that. #patientchat | |
Trisha Bundy @bundytr5 RT @TuftsB: @patientchat A1. You have within you a powerful narrative. Share it with your community. #patientchat | |
Kevin Freiert @K_SalemOaks T2: Listen. Then act with empathy. #patientchat #pinksocks #HCLDR @S4PM | |
Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @Srotberg15 I’ve got two of those at least! Blog & SM. #patientchat | |

Marni Cartelli @Purrfectly_Rare @Chris_Anselmo @JamieRoger8 I almost fell over when I saw you on this chat! Be still my heart you made it Wait the fact both of us remembered the same chat...we need to play the lotto! #patientchat | |
ISurvivor Lisa Deck @lbdeck @patientchat Be honest. Be vulnerable. Listen and connect. Be open to all oppprtunities. All are needed for meaningful, successful #advocacy work. #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 Great point! Definitely listen and also get tips from fellow advocates. #patientchat | |
Debbie Popp @DPoppGP T2: Being tenacious, not allowing negativity to discourage you I have found critical in advocacy. Believing you can is half the battle! #patientchat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @Purrfectly_Rare: A.1 #patientchat Do it! As a patient U already have more "advocacy" skills than you realize since you probably have been fighting for some sort of medical care all along It can be scary to try something new but it can b so rewarding as well | |

Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh T2 I am not sure I think in terms of tactics, but I do think it is important to truly believe in your cause, to have a passion for it, and to understand what it is you seek (your goal/s) & why this all matters. #PatientChat | |
Maya Northen Augelli @mayanorthen Finding communities - or even just a couple of people w/ shared goals/interests in advocacy - has been a big help. They support, both in my advocacy efforts, as well as in life in general. Support goes a long way, and keeps me going during flareups/rough times. #patientchat | |
Kevin Freiert @K_SalemOaks T2: Learn, Learn, Learn. Make it a point to learn something new about this role every day. Learn about disease, current treatments, R&D, policy, payers, etc. #patientchat #pinksocks #HCLDR @S4PM | |
Inspire @InspireIsHealth @TuftsB @ZHeatherChamp @Srotberg15 Good point. One way to keep tabs on conferences/events of interest to individual advocates is via the searchable Healthcare Hashtag Project page: https://t.co/kXffFENhro (HT @symplur). #patientchat | |

Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 GREAT ADVICE! #patientchat | |
Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @teaminspire @TuftsB @Srotberg15 @symplur Thanks! I do follow @symplur as often as I can. But lately I’m drifting off. Feeling bad - no $ - can’t attend - can’t advocate. #patientchat | |

Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 @Chris_Anselmo Really good point. I always try to see what other advocates are doing and then reach out to them for tips or advice as needed. #patientchat | |
Marni Cartelli @Purrfectly_Rare A2. #patientchat B humble & willing to admit what U DONT know Ppl respect some1=genuine & acting like you know things when you dont turns them off &gets U nowhere fast It's ok 2B wrong- but admit it In beginning I was misinformed but I admitted when I was corrected So important! | |
Bob Tufts @TuftsB A2: You do not have to become a biochemist to be an advoacte. Become the expert on how it affects your life and those around you. #patientchat | |
Rozana Zaman @ZamanRozana @Srotberg15 You are absolutely correct. we all should follow this. #patientchat @Srotberg15 | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @TuftsB: A2: A2: You do not have to become a biochemist to be an advoacte. Become the expert on how it affects your life and those around you. #patientchat | |
Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 I started working with @SalemOaks which brought me into this whole community and then shortly after had to embrace my own life journey; having the newfound community helped lift me back up and realize the importance of sharing what I went through. #patientchat | |
Maya Northen Augelli @mayanorthen I've also found that as I get further into advocacy, getting out of my comfort zone helps in terms of opportunities. It helps me reach people I wouldn't if I stayed solely where I'm most comfy, and that can help open doors. #patientchat | |
Trisha Bundy @bundytr5 Writing abt personal experiences expresses our humanity, not only to others but ourselves as well. Gr8 rdg how not alone w/ our challenges. Also therapeutic reread our past writings to see what we have survived already & reminder we can continue doing so... #advocacy #patientchat | |

Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp A3: I don’t think I have a “community” per se, but in 2011 at dx my entire life bottomed out. I started my #blog immediately and just try to move forward each day. #patientchat | |
Debbie Popp @DPoppGP T3: Watching all the suffering in my community. Hearing stories from so many who felt alone and not heard. Believing that there are other options out there for the finding. Believing my illness was brought to me for a reason, to help others! #patientchat | |

Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh RT @bundytr5: Writing abt personal experiences expresses our humanity, not only to others but ourselves as well. Gr8 rdg how not alone w/ our challenges. Also therapeutic reread our past writings to see what we have survived already & reminder we can continue doing so... #advocacy #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 T3 Over time I realized the importance of sharing my story with others on a similar path and trying to inspire or empower others to also get involved within their own community #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 T3 Testing positive for Huntington’s Disease (HD) motivated me to get more involved. Last year I spoke at @TEDxNatick and made me realized the importance of advocating for all patients and caregivers no matter what their condition was. #patientchat | |
Bob Tufts @TuftsB A3: I saw people frozen in fear and scared. Addressing their fear, by telling them about my journey and imparting some knowledge was important for me to do. #patientchat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients T3: Being a #caregiver for my Mom was what inspired me to become an advocate and join @power4patients. She often felt alone, powerless & overwhelmed. I want to try to change that for other patients and care partners. #patientchat | |
Trisha Bundy @bundytr5 Agree, it's critical to be able to look past negativity and keep focused on your ultimate purpose. #patientchat | |

Email your elected officials about policy that affects you as a patient. Help another patient stand up for themselves. #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 @FieldingPolly I am the same way and actually encourage the audience to ask any and all questions. I am an open book at this point so I never take any questions "too personal." #patientchat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @melissarvh: T6 Starts w/believing you have worth & you deserve to have a voice. This is YOUR illness & YOUR life. Others can advise, but you know yourself & you know your illness. You must also must know you have a right to assert yourself. #MakeYourOwnLane #PatientChat | |
Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh RT @bundytr5: Be honest with yourself & your medical team. You know yourself better than anyone else & deserve to be heard, respected, and involved in your treatment decisions. Find a dr that listens, cares, is knowledgeable, & you trust. Stand up for your needs. #patientchat | |
Bob Tufts @TuftsB @bundytr5 Yes especially if you have a rare disease. You may know more than your medical team about living daily with the malady. #patientchat | |
Laurie Reed @LReedptadvocate @patientchat T6: Ask questions, go beyond pat answers. Prepare. Know your options. Be brave. #patientchat | |
Debbie Popp @DPoppGP T5: I started by creating a website and advocacy group on social media, began collecting stories from the community to identify unmet needs, and making them available to other advocates. #patientchat | |

Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba T4 I live by the theme: "We learn every day." Being an advocate encourages learning from all POVs of care. So, yes, it can enhance my own patient journey. #patientchat https://t.co/PRy0fDCydj | |
Patient Chat @patientchat Time to start sharing closing thoughts (CT) on what you learned, were reminded of or can implement. Start your tweet w/ CT: #patientchat | |
Kevin Freiert @K_SalemOaks Interesting. Your answer considers how your advocacy impacts the impact others have on your journey. We always hear patients are people - healthcare pros are too. Food for thought. #patientchat | |
Maya Northen Augelli @mayanorthen T6: Also, remember that you are the foremost expert at you. Nobody knows your story, your experiences, your feelings, your pain, your triumphs better than you. Own that expertise! #patientchat | |

Inspire @InspireIsHealth @bbhomebody T6: We sometimes see the "Cobblers Children Syndrome" among some very active and effective patient advocates as they don't invest the time in self-care, though they know they should https://t.co/oyeCUeN5FE. #patientchat | |
Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh @bbhomebody Thank you kindly, Ms. Becky. 💚 #PatientChat | |

Sarah DeBord @TheSarahDeBord T6: Educate yourself about your disease. Don't rely on your health care provider to do it for you. Watch webinars, attend conferences, immerse yourself in an empowered patient community, connect with other patient advocates & watch how they engage in their own care. #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 CT: Thanks again for having me as a guest host today! Final thoughts are to continue to advocate for yourself and for those who may not have the same opportunity to share their story. #patientchat | |
Kevin Freiert @K_SalemOaks Yeah - it always starts out ruff. #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 CT: As for me, I am continuing to share my story through articles, podcasts, and speaking engagements. I am also passionate about supporting young adults impacted by a rare or chronic condition. If I can help you at all, don’t hesitate to reach out! #patientchat | |
Marie Ennis-O'Connor @JBBC @patientchat CT Remember a rising tide lifts all boats. One of the ways in which we lift each other up is through strengthening our connections online. So ask yourself, who will you lift up today? #Patientchat | |
Violet Kuchar, Crazy Colorectal Cancer Cat Lady @ViolentKuchar @patientchat T5 Start small. Life with a chronic or terminal illness is terribly difficult, & many hold down full time gigs to pay for our treatment on top of advocacy. You don't need an elaborate business plan to share your story. Social media makes sharing stories so easy. #patientchat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @TheSarahDeBord Yes x100 #patientchat | |

Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 Thank you #patientchat and the wonderful, GROWING, #community that you offer. Practice #selfcare , #selfadvocacy , and #selflove #listen and be #empathetic , we all have stories to tell, but we also need to be there when someone else needs to tell theirs. | |
🌟 Sherry Reynolds ✨ Person-Centered Health @Cascadia @K_SalemOaks Absolutely - some members of my own family don’t want to 2nd guess their doctors. Others want to get best in class. My own Mom is a 10+ year #MSBC (mets to liver) thriver and it only because we advocated for/with her within her values and preferences. #patientchat | |

Becky Brandt DegenRN @bbhomebody @teaminspire For sure!!! Thanks for the link! As a nurse, I was AWFUL about self care. Now , as a rare disease patient, I have no choice but to take care of ME first😀 #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 @oliveblogs @patientchat It was great to learn more about your story through this #patientchat | |
Kevin Freiert @K_SalemOaks CT I was going to say, patient advocacy should not be a competition. We all bring different gifts and tools to the same vision. I really like the way you said it here. #patientchat | |
Patient Chat @patientchat #patientchat is your community. Thanks for helping make it great. Reach out to @power4patients or @patientchat anytime. #patientchat | |
Violet Kuchar, Crazy Colorectal Cancer Cat Lady @ViolentKuchar @patientchat T6: As a patient, assume you not only deserve the same seat at the table as all physicians on your team, but you are the head of the table. If any doc treats you otherwise, make her leave the table. Don't forget you're paying for this. #patientchat | |
Debbie Popp @DPoppGP T6: Being as kind to yourself as you are to others, Working with other advocates to learn as much about treatments available to bring to your own medical team for discussion. #patientchat | |
Patient Chat @patientchat Thanks so much @Srotberg15 for sharing your insights and being our guest for today’s #patientchat | |

Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh CT Speak up for yourself & for others who sometimes feel voiceless. It matters. Every little thing matters. And you do not have to have any special talents or credentials -- just a desire to help. #PatientChat | |
Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients CT: A chronic ilness can be incredibly isolating. Remember, you're not alone and there are people out there ready and willing to advocate for and with you #patientchat | |

Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 @patientchat No problem! Looking forward to the next #patientchat | |
Marni Cartelli @Purrfectly_Rare A.4 #patientchat It can help & hurt When I needed new Dr told at 1st apt I am outspoken advocate esp for Tx of #pain bc I know it can have consequences 4 Drs in current climate I gave opportunity 2 not take me on if it would cause probs | |
Marni Cartelli @Purrfectly_Rare A.4 #patientchat continued... In my case he said that solidified his desire to take me on bc not many think of what Drs R facing But he looks at advocacy as the job of both pts and physicians; as a team | |

🌟 Sherry Reynolds ✨ Person-Centered Health @Cascadia @K_SalemOaks The goal is to move from 1:1 advocacy to applying lessons learned so we can change systems of care so that everyone's Mom has the same outcomes as upper income, highly educated families with a passionate advocate can get. #patientchat | |
Sarah DeBord @TheSarahDeBord @FieldingPolly You found the gap and you filled it! Now other parents hearing the same diagnosis don't have to look far to find someone who has had to learn by doing, and can help them navigate #hemophilia. #patientchat | |
Seth Rotberg @Srotberg15 @Rose_of_Sharon8 @patientchat I am glad you had the chance to participate and I hope all is well on your end. Keep up the great work in the health community! #patientchat | |

Patient Chat @patientchat Keep the conversation going between chats with hashtag #patientchat and let us know if you are interested in being a special guest on #patientchat | |
Maya Northen Augelli @mayanorthen CT: As w/ all in life, as an advocate there are going to be some great days, & some days where it's tough to focus/write/connect etc. Don't let it discourage you. Advocacy (& life) is a process, & it's OK to have tough days. Also, don't forget to practice self care! #patientchat | |
CMTP @CMTP_Baltimore RT @LReedsbooks: An Impt. takeaway - "there's a direct correlation between #Healthliterarcy and improved health outcomes. #patientadvocacy #patientexperience #patientchat | |
Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh @FieldingPolly So glad to see you @ #PatientChat, Ms. Polly! I am thankful for the opportunity to meet new people and participate in such lively & informative conversations! | |
Salem Oaks @SalemOaks #patientchat, more information on the course the @SalemOaks folks mentioned at the beginning of the chat. | |
Sarah DeBord @TheSarahDeBord T6: Don't let your lack of credentials be intimidating in a room full of credentials. I appreciate the providers who are speaking up for patients, and treating them as equal partners and decision makers when creating a health care plan. #patientchat | |
Therese Surges @ThereseSurges RT @Srotberg15: T2: T2: Do your homework and know your audience when you advocate. Determine what your goal is and what message(s) you want to leave the audience. More importantly, what action plan do you want your audience to take after sharing your story. #patientchat | |
Debbie Popp @DPoppGP Thank you all who participated in this chat. Learned some good tips from you all today! #patientchat | |

Two Faces of MS 💋 @TwoFacesofMS Patient engagement is engaging w someone the way they want to communicate. If I ask a drs office to be in touch by email, it’s because I need my energy for the phone to do work, not wasting it on making appts. #PatientChat #PatientExperience #MedTwitter | |
