Health Writer & Patient Advocate

Patty Williams brings a unique perspective to health and wellness writing as both a registered nurse with 18 years of hospital experience and someone who has personally navigated the healthcare system as a patient with Type 2 diabetes. Her dual viewpoint gives her writing a refreshing honesty that resonates with readers facing their own health journeys.

After spending nearly two decades in hospital nursing, Patty transitioned to community health work where she discovered her passion for helping people access preventive care and wellness resources. She was frustrated by how often patients would skip important screenings or medications simply because they didn't know about available assistance programs or thought they couldn't afford care.

Patty's writing focuses on demystifying healthcare navigation and uncovering the wellness benefits that many people don't realize they're entitled to. Her articles combine clinical knowledge with practical experience, offering readers step-by-step guidance on everything from scheduling preventive screenings to finding prescription assistance programs.

Currently, Patty volunteers at community health fairs when she can. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, traveling, and playing with her dogs.
