Fight for Yourself - It Could Be the Difference Between Life and Death with Demetrius Holiday

Today's guest is Demetrius Holiday, pediatric nurse practitioner, clinical assistant professor at Georgia State University, and she serves on the Patient Family Advisory Council for Emory Healthcare. She also volunteers as an Ambassador and Mentor for Imerman Angels, mentors youth through Black Girls Smile, Inc., and is owner and CEO of DDH Health Education Consultants, LLC, providing health education to medical providers, patients and caregivers. Demetrius is also a head and neck cancer survivor and her story is one of determination and fighting every step of the way to get the care she needed. She has since used her own experience to become a better listener with her own patients and an advocate and mentor. As we finish out April, which is also Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month, we talk about not taking "no" for an answer, the power of a strong support system, addressing disparities in healthcare, the importance of mentorship, and so much more!!Resources:Demetrius' LinkedIn: Demetrius Holiday DNP, MS, CPNP-PCDemetrius' Email: [email protected] Angels website: https://imermanangels.org/Follow:Follow me: https://www.instagram.com/melissagrosboll/My website: https://melissagrosboll.comEmail me: [email protected]
