Hello there,


It=E2=80=99s absolutely essential that we be able to advocate for our own h=
ealth
needs, but many of us clam up when speaking to health care providers.


I want to help anyone who=E2=80=99s struggling with advocating for their ow=
n
health. Can I write an article for your site offering tips and resources on
the topic?


Thanks so much!

Julia Merrill of Befriendyourdoc.org <https://befriendyourdoc.org/>
