The Health Advocate's Start and Grow Your Own Practice Handbook: A Step by Step Guide
Trisha Torrey is known as Every Patient’s Advocate. She is an author, a blogger, a patient advocacy consultant, a national speaker, and  About.com’s expert in patient empowerment. Since her background prior to her advocacy work was in marketing and teaching, in 2009, Trisha founded AdvoConnection.com, a website that provides patients and caregivers with assistance from private health advocates.  The advocates found in the directory are all members of The Alliance of Professional Health Advocates, an organization which provides business support to private professional patient advocates. Her first book, entitled You Bet Your Life! The 10 Mistakes Every Patient Makes (How to Fix Them to Get the Health Care You Deserve) was published in early 2010. Her second book, The Health Advocate’s Marketing Handbook was written in response to the many marketing questions asked by advocates who have started their own private practices. The Health Advocate’s Start and Grow Your Own Practice Handbook is her third book.
