Self Advocacy
Self advocacy takes place when you become better informed about your condition, and take action to receive the best possible care for yourself. As a patient, you have the right to make decisions in partnership with your healthcare team about your treatment plan. In order to make a decision, it helps to fully understand your options, including all of the benefits and risks. If you have questions, be sure to make a list and ask your doctor to address each of your concerns.
