My name is Dr. Gwendolyn “Gwen” Stritter. Several of my patients have asked for this website because they have
a difficult time explaining to their family and friends what it is exactly that I do. So, this site will introduce folks
to the concept of clinical advocacy.
What is a clinical advocate?
As my mentor, Dr. Mark Renneker, puts it: a clinical advocate is a person who does all those things for you that doctors
do for themselves or their loved ones when faced with a serious or life-threatening illness.
A clinical advocate does everything from case-intensive research to helping find the right medical team to helping navigate
complex medical decisions.
