Changing the future of healthcare begins with YOU!
At the age of three, Parker Summers (below) was diagnosed with a brain tumor. As a result of the advocacy efforts of the Center for Patient Partnerships he received surgery and experimental stem cell therapy treatment unavailable through his family’s insurance carrier. Now he is a happy and healthy young boy!

Every day many people, like Parker and his family, struggle to get the health care they need. At the Center for Patient Partnerships, we are committed to making sure everyone, regardless of income or age, receives the care and support they deserve. Without our donors, we could not continue to help those who need it most. Your donation will help continue to keep our advocacy services free, in addition to training students to become effective advocates for patients. Our students become professionals who make partnering with their patient and clients a priority and the research is clear: empowered patients get better quality, safer and more effective care. The gift you give today will help us continue to transform how professionals and consumers navigate the health care system. Together, we can raise expectations, sustain hope, and change lives. Help us make better health care future TODAY!
