Politics & Prose with Gail Dudley

On today’s Politics & Prose podcast, Gail sits down with Nawanda Turner. Nawanda has worked in healthcare over 20 years. Her main niche is assisting academic healthcare organizations manage Clinical Systems projects that focus on expansion or optimization.

In this episode, Gail chats with Nawanda about the healthcare systems, patient advocacy, knowing your body, how to check your statements, advocating on behalf of others, and when to say good-bye to your PCP, and so much more such as:

1. Know your rights

2. Voice your concerns

3. Asking for an itemized bill

4. Research the condition

5. Know what’s going on

6. Take notes

7. How to go prepared to the doctor’s office.

We hope this conversation inspires you to be aware of your physical health, how to advocate on behalf of others, and to use your voice even when you feel uncomfortable.
