About the Show
Welcome to Health Hats, learning on the journey toward best health. I am Danny van Leeuwen, a two-legged, old, cisgender, white man with privilege, living in a food oasis, who can afford many hats and knows a little about a lot of healthcare and a lot about very little. Most people wear hats one at a time, but I wear them all at once. We will listen and learn about what it takes to adjust to life's realities in the awesome circus of healthcare. Let's make some sense of all this.

The Show
Proem
Advocacy can be a lonely and frustrating calling. Ironically, it’s a long game requiring patience, planting seeds, persistence, and gratitude – think thousand-year-old eggs. Ironic, as many people called to advocacy, have barely reigned in passion. Rather, they push, push, push; never quite satisfied; never quite feeling home and done. A thriving community of advocates, activists recognize the loneliness and offer inspiration to recharge and pull forward. Advocate communities cross-pollinate.
Introducing Neely Williams
My guest, Neely Williams, inspires me as a minister, a community advocate, and a community organizer. We worked together on PCORI’s (the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute) Patient Engagement Advisory Panel (PEAP).
