Advocacy Education
Health Policy & Advocacy for Real People
Patients Rising breaks down health policy and advocacy in plain language. We teach patients and caregivers how the system works, how decisions get made, and how to use their voices to influence real policy at the state and federal level.
Advocacy Resources
Tools Patients Can Actually Use
We give advocates practical tools to take action — clear policy explainers, simple guides, and ready-to-use templates that make it easier to understand the issues and speak up with confidence. Whether you’re sharing your story, contacting lawmakers, or learning how decisions get made, these resources help you be heard at the state and federal level.
“Chronic pain and illness have taught me to be a more mindful, compassionate, and assertive person. I’ve learned prioritize who and what matter in life, and to allow the rest to fade into the periphery.”
– Brina
Patient Advocate
“My motivation for doing what I do is always helping other people living with an illness like myself, realize their strengths and abilities. I want them to reach all of their goals in spite of living with a debilitating disease.”
– Evamarie
