Understanding your legal rights and responsibilities as a patient before you are facing life-threatening decisions is as important as understanding them while you are making them.

“I thought my breast cancer had been misdiagnosed, causing me a delay in getting treatment. Through counseling, education and discussion, I learned about my legal rights as a patient and was able to set reasonable expectations for myself and for my doctors. Today, I’m cancer-free and living as a proactive patient.” – Laura, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
