Deborah Batson, BCPA
Deborah has spent many years observing the health care system inside and out, as patient, family member, caregiver as well as in roles in the administration of health care in a hospital setting: clinical data, ethics and research protocol review.
For years before becoming a board-certified patient advocate, Deborah informally helped people navigate their health care, researching conditions and connecting people with providers who can help. She has read, researched and interpreted countless studies and drug reports, and negotiated many medical bills and has worked with adults and children to support them during health crises.
In addition to founding her patient advocacy practice Patient Advocacy Partners, Deborah sits on the pediatric panel of an Institutional Review Board, where she reviews research study proposals involving children as subjects. She also serves on a hospital clinical ethics committee, helping to frame difficult questions for patients and clinicians.
Deborah is also the Chair of the Patient Advocate Certification Board's Ethics Committee. She also performs background research for a local health care activism group that considers housing and other economic disparities in health care.
