Access Delayed, Life Denied: What Happens When the System Says No, and a Life Is the Price
Join us for a moving keynote panel that will open this year’s summit with urgency and truth. Together, we will discuss the heartbreaking consequences of access barriers and what it truly means when coverage is denied.
We are honored to invite the parents of Cole Schmidtknecht, Bil and Shanon, to share their story and advocacy journey.
In January 2024, 22-year-old Cole Schmidtknecht walked into a pharmacy to refill his asthma medication. What he walked out with was a price tag of over $500—and no medication.
This session isn’t just the start of the Healthcare Advocate Summit.... it is a call to action and a reminder of our collective purpose.
