HealthWell Foundation presents `Voices in Patient Access," an interview series dedicated to amplifying the voices of those working to improve health care access. During the 2026 @HealthcareAdvocateSummit, HealthWell sat down with attendees to have important conversations on the challenges, resources, and solutions shaping patient access to care.
We`re starting off this series with Abby Zachritz, also known as @Advocacy.Abby, who is the Director of Family Advocacy at @SupportNow_org. Watch the full interview on HealthWell`s YouTube channel at the link in our bio to learn about Abby`s impact in the patient access space.
A cancer diagnosis can elicit a range of emotions. Fear. Sadness. Worry. Confusion. Overwhelm. How will you make decisions about your treatment and care? Will you be able to navigate the health care system – choosing a provider, scheduling all the tests and doctor’s appointments, figuring out your insurance coverage, and more? And how will you manage the extra costs that a cancer diagnosis brings?
