What turns someone into a passionate healthcare advocate? For many, it’s personal experience—facing their own health struggles, losing a loved one, or confronting glaring health inequities. After the heart-wrenching loss of her husband, Chadwick Boseman, Simone Ledward-Boseman became a fierce advocate for health awareness. As a caregiver to Chadwick during his battle with colorectal cancer, Simone not only gained invaluable insights into patient care but also learned the importance of being proactive with health and navigating the healthcare system.
In this powerful conversation, Simone reflects on her journey—how Chadwick’s resilience inspired her and how, through caregiving, she discovered her own strength. Her mission now? To empower others to take charge of their health and advocate for themselves with the same courage and determination she learned along the way.
This season is made possible through a collaboration between the Patient Advocate Foundation and Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center at Virginia Commonwealth University, with generous support from the Danaher Foundation.
