Conversations With Patient Advocacy Influencer Christy Snodgrass @ChristyPRN

Christy Snodgrass is a registered nurse, turned healthcare reformer and patient advocate. While working in the hospital she witnessed firsthand how the complexity and lack of transparency in healthcare placed a huge burden on healthcare workers and patients. She has since built a social media platform of over 800,000 followers where she sheds light on these issues and provides the public with resources to help them navigate our difficult healthcare system.Christy represents a new generation of advocates, and her platform has already gone a long way toward exposing the need for advocacy. This brings us to another reason we’re featuring Christy. The Healthcare Advocate Summit in Las Vegas is quickly approaching, and one of the benefits of the summit is the chance to learn about the profession, even if you’re not yet an advocate. This season 2 finale episode provides a different perspective of the profession from the standpoint of someone who uses social media to promote Independent Patient Advocacy for the benefit of the entire profession.
