I am excited to contribute as Patient and Family Advisor Partner, as I believe
I can bring a perspective to the team, and hospital, that will go a long way towards everyone feeling understood and comfortable.
As a non-speaking autistic with other complex medical issues, I have spent a lot of time in various medical appointments, ERs, and procedures. I think the knowledge I have gained, as well as my as-lived experiences, will help forward my wish to give the neurodiverse and sensitive population a sensory safe environment where they can receive great medical care.
Thank you for the opportunity to give back to my community in a meaningful and concrete way.
