The roles of both the consumer and the health advocate professional
have become increasingly significant in to- day's climate of
"rationed" health care. It seems clear that the timely exchange of
ideas among seasoned health care advocates is necessary if we are
to deal with the complex problems of a technologically advanced so-
ciety seeking to ration its heath care in a truly humane way.
Toward such a timely exchange, the first Confer- ence on Advocacy
in Health Care was organized by the Health Advocacy Program of
Sarah Lawrence College and recently held. Advocacy in Health Care:
The Power of a Silent Constituency is the proceedings of the
conference and will, we believe, greatly extend our efforts to
share both the problems and solutions that effective patient
advocacy entails. Never before has the issue of advocating for
special population groups by combining the resources of consumers
and professionals been the exclusive focus of one volume. This book
discusses the power of such an alignment and describes specific
organizational techniques that have been effective in bringing
about changes in the delivery system. The final section of the
book, "Questions, Com- ments and Answers," presents a selection of
topics of special interest that surfaced during the open disc- vii
viii Preface sion at the last conference session. The comments were
forthright in their criticism of public policy, and the vigor of
the argument underscored the vitality of the co- alition between
professionals and consumers.
