Time to ACE Your Healthcare Journey

🔥🫀 It’s Time to Shift the Dynamic 🫀🔥

We want to share something powerful — not a power struggle, but a true power balance.

For so many of us, healthcare has looked like this:

1️⃣ We explain what’s wrong

2️⃣ They tell us what to do

3️⃣ We nod politely

4️⃣ We hold back our real questions

5️⃣ We end up back where we started

Sound familiar?

When you’re living with aortic disease, that cycle isn’t just frustrating — it can feel overwhelming. And you deserve better.

✨ It’s time to ACE Your Healthcare Journey ✨

A – AdvocateTake ownership. Keep your records. Bring a support person. Write down questions. Take notes. Your voice matters in the room.

C – CommunicateFind the best way to stay connected with your care team. Use the portal. Make the call. Ask the question. Speak up about symptoms, side effects, fears, and concerns.

E – EducateShare your full story — physical and emotional. Gather your family history. (#ThinkAortaThinkFamily) Help your providers see the whole YOU, not just a scan result.

💡 Here’s the truth: The strongest healthcare journey is a partnership.

You bring your lived experience.They bring their expertise.Together — you ACE it. 💪🫀

No more silent nodding.No more shrinking yourself in the exam room.

This is about balance.

This is about partnership.

This is about taking your seat at the table.
