Maia Laing and Flo Rosser: Advocating for Yourself as a Patient

In this episode of Octavia's Cure, host Dr. Stella Safo talks with Maia Laing and Florence “Flo” Rosser about patient advocacy, and what it really takes to show up for yourself or a loved one inside a healthcare system that doesn't always make that easy. They also discuss how to change things at the policy and system level. This is a conversation about knowledge, persistence, and community, and what patients and their advocates can teach the rest of us about navigating care with confidence.CreditsOctavia's Cure is a production of Just Equity for Health.
