Discover the PACC Experience: Your Gateway to Healthcare Navigation

Join our PACC sessions where you can select topics relevant to your interests and gain valuable insights for effectively navigating the healthcare system. Each session features illuminating case studies that spark meaningful discussion. PACC focuses not on your health itself, but on your healthcare journey—the critical experiences that pave the way to wellness.**

Every participant brings unique value to our community, whether they're seasoned medical professionals, Board Certified Patient Advocates, dedicated caregivers, or engaged community members. Together, we create a rich tapestry of shared knowledge that benefits everyone involved.

Over the years, our PACC community has brought so many questions to the table:

How do I choose an Advocate?
I want to be an Advocate, how do I start?
Do I need a second opinion?
My doctor doesn't wash her hands, what should I say?
Would I make a good Advocate?

There is no question that is to big or small and PACC is here to help!

(see a few suggestions to bring below)

Patient Activation through Community Conversations (PACC)

PACC offers a structured forum to discuss healthcare navigation—not individual health issues. Through facilitated conversations and real case studies, participants share effective strategies and learn from diverse perspectives.

What PACC Is and Isn't:

• A collaborative learning environment, not a support group (though support often emerges)
• A space where healthcare experiences are explored through guided discussion

Community Guidelines:

• No "you should" statements or unsolicited advice
• Active listening without interruption
• Plain language only—no medical jargon or acronyms
• Share experiences without subjective judgments

All sessions maintain strict confidentiality—what's shared stays within the group. Join our empowering community to navigate healthcare complexities together.

*For privacy and engagement, cameras must remain on throughout all sessions.
