TESTIMONIAL:
ADVOCACY FOR THE VULNERABLE POPULATION

Nancy Haugen, President of Elder Voice Advocates, has been my public health nursing colleague and mentor for more than 25 years. She recently turned her attention to advocacy for the vulnerable population of elders living in Assisted Living facilities.

I had no idea that Nancy’s advocacy would affect my family directly. When my mother needed transitional care after a hospital stay, I was impressed with improvements in nursing care compared to the previous experience of another family member at the same facility. I credit Elder Voice Advocates and Nancy's work for these licensure changes. I am deeply appreciative that these standards exist today.
