Thank You to Our Event Sponsor GT Independence!

Advocacy for Change is a great way for people to get involved with decision making. And for me, it was important to hear what issues my constituents face and how to address them.

Dianne Hesselbein
State Representative

As a student nurse, it made a huge impact to hear from the families. We see things from the clinical side all the time and it’s so easy to forget that people’s lives keep on going outside of the hospital. This gave me a renewed appreciation for the unbelievable effort and the challenging situations that these families experience every single day. Thanks again for the opportunity to join!

M. Reimer
School of Nursing Student

THANK YOU to Family Voices for providing a great opportunity to advocate and show families how important our voices and stories are to affect positive change. I am truly grateful.
