B. Branch
Health Advocate
My background is in education, parenting, and patient navigation. I was one of the first patient navigators in a national pilot program for medically vulnerable homeless people. These folks had an array of very complex medical and behavioral health issues.
The memories of all of these good folks always stay with me when I think about how best to help. A particular idea or solution might look good on paper, but it only works if it works for the person in real life.
From there, I went on to mentoring, advising, and teaching other people how to do this kind of work. I created an in-depth training series for housing agencies on how to assist people with complex behavioral health needs. And I held leadership roles in the state’s efforts to improve health and housing stability for people experiencing homelessness.
I learn from everybody I work with. The past few years have brought an increase in many kinds of chronic health issues, from cardiovascular problems to allergy issues to chronic fatigue (just to name a few). Always grateful for both the patient community and the medical research community for being such rich sources of information.
