That changed in 2015 when she spoke for the first time about her patient experiences, and realized that all she had been through could be used to help people.

Claire sits on Patient Advisory Boards for the Innovation Value Initiative, the United States of Care, the ABIM Foundation, and the State of Maryland. She has also worked with the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine and Families USA, and is an Ambassador for the Chronic Disease Coalition.
