As the need for patient advocacy grows, so does the importance of making these services accessible to everyone.
A recent Wisconsin State Journal article explores the growing field of patient advocacy in Madison, highlighting how advocates help patients and families navigate complex medical decisions, coordinate care, and address insurance challenges.
The article features CPP Director Sarah Davis, who discusses the barriers that prevent many patients from accessing advocacy services.

Davis also emphasizes CPP’s broader mission of addressing systemic barriers and working toward a more equitable healthcare system for all patients.
