REWIND: Empowering Healthcare Advocacy with Jessica Baladad
Manage episode 447618014 series 3371673
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re bringing back this powerful episode with Jessica Baladad, a breast cancer survivor and advocate for healthcare transparency. After facing misdiagnosis, Jessica's experience inspired her to create the "Feel For Your Life" app, promoting self-breast exams and early detection. Her advocacy extends beyond personal challenges, driving legislative change in Tennessee and tackling national healthcare issues.
Jessica shares the importance of self-advocacy, especially when dealing with dismissive medical professionals, and how her family's legacy as fourth-generation survivors shaped her journey. We also dive into the financial side of healthcare as Jessica details how she successfully reduced a $20,000 medical bill—emphasizing the need for financial literacy in patient care.
This episode celebrates Jessica’s relentless mission to empower patients and transform the healthcare system for better outcomes.
Don’t forget to do your monthly exam.
