On today's podcast, Leeanne West will discuss her role as the President of the International Children's Advisory Network. This non-profit helps empower children, adolescents, and young adults to make their own health care decisions.

Leeanne West became the President of the International Children Advisory Network in 2018. This non-profit has 36 chapters in the United States, Canada, and Africa and its focus is to help empower children, adolescents, and young adults to make their own decisions concerning their individual health care battles. These chapters all have a Youth Council, a Young Professionals Group, a Siblings Group, and a Parents Group. The chapters are associated with hospitals near where they are located, and are very supportive of the goal in helping these patients gain the knowledge and experience that they will need as they try and control as many of the decisions that have to be made in their individual health situations. Many of these situations involve Pediatric Cancer.
