Advocacy Visionary & Trailblazer Karen Mercereau

After decades as an ICU nurse where she bore witness to the failings of the healthcare system, Karen Mercereau, RN, iRNPA made a defining decision that laid the groundwork for the field of Independent Patient Advocacy.  She left clinical nursing to focus her attention on developing a new practice model designed to safely guide patients through the challenges of a broken system. As a pioneer and educator, Karen’s science-based iRNPA curriculum has served as a roadmap for hundreds of nursing professionals who apply her integrated approach to advocacy on a daily basis.
