Have you ever felt unheard during a medical appointment? What if the most valuable source of healthcare improvement has been overlooked all along? How can patients become stronger advocates for their own care?

In this powerful episode of Ask the Patient Advocate, Dr. Elena Borrelli sits down with Matt Torresco, nationally recognized patient advocate, founder of Arco Advocacy, TEDx speaker, and creator of the Empowered Patient Framework. After suffering a devastating cervical spine injury that led to years of chronic pain, multiple surgeries, opioid dependence, and countless healthcare encounters, Matt transformed his personal struggle into a mission to elevate the patient voice across healthcare, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries.

Whether you're living with a chronic illness, managing chronic pain, supporting a loved one, or simply striving to make informed healthcare decisions, this conversation offers actionable tools and a fresh perspective on patient advocacy. You'll leave inspired to recognize that your lived experience is not just important—it's essential. Because when patients are empowered to speak up and healthcare truly listens, better care becomes possible for everyone.
