In my work I'm living with the overwhelm of the unknown from the federal government - and beyond. In this space, I have chosen to co-create solutions and lean into possibility to prevent future harm.

A Tiered Consent Model allows us to protect ourselves from the weaponization of our experiences by the federal government.

We are reaching out to the Henry Ford Health System with a simple yet meaningful request: embrace the role of giving agency back to patients in managing their healthcare data.

In our current social and political context, it’s imperative that patients have the autonomy to choose when—and if—they share their personal health information.Why is this crucial?

Because protecting our healthcare data isn’t just logical—it’s essential. It’s not about imposing barriers; it’s about enhancing trust and security.

By allowing patients to opt-in and opt-out of data sharing, you provide a safeguard, inviting us to engage in our healthcare journey with confidence and peace of mind.

Remember, in the face of the unknown, lies a realm of possibilities we are yet to discover. We are our best allies.

Keep imagining, keep questioning, and most importantly, keep creating.

Sign the petition - ask to protect your health care data.

In solidarity,
