Multiple Health Issues
Hi! I am Cindy, from Richmond, Vermont. I have a number of health issues - Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lung Cancer and Heart Attack survivor, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. I try not to focus on the negatives of any or all of these issues, but to focus on what I can do. I can advocate for myself and others. At work I serve on a benefits advisory committee where I work with our employer on the benefits employees are entitled to. I also work with groups on medication costs and have served in an advocacy role for some national organizations. I am in my 60s, but I was diagnosed with RA as a teenager, so I have seen so many changes with treatment options.
Thank you for sharing your experience and health journey! I would love to learn more about the various advocacy hats you wear! Especially as a member of your employers benefits advisory committee! You’re insight on this are of employment and benefits would be very helpful!
, those are some incredibly important issues! We'd love to hear more about the things you're working on! Please consider visiting our "Stories" page (in the community section). - Warmly, Donna (team member)
