Caregiving with Purpose: Navigating Healthcare Gaps and Creating Change

At just a teenager, Jamie Stokley stepped into the role of caregiver for her mother, determined to ensure that her mom could live a full life, despite the health challenges they faced. As she navigated the complexities of the healthcare system, Jamie quickly realized the many gaps that made it harder for families to access the support they needed. This sparked her passion to not only help her own family but to educate and empower others in similar situations.

Now, as a leader in the healthcare space, Jamie oversees a team of home health aides providing in-home services to elderly and disabled individuals, ensuring they receive the quality care they deserve. Beyond this, she runs an advocacy organization that helps clients navigate financial and social needs, offering crucial support that extends beyond medical care.

Listen as Jamie shares how her personal caregiving story drives her work, and how she’s using her experiences to be a catalyst for change, bringing much-needed care and advocacy to communities in need. Her journey shows how one person’s story can spark real, lasting impact in healthcare.
