EP 162 :: Health Education & Dementia Care :: Jennifer Woodruff

Low health illiteracy is a barrier not only to getting the right care but also to creating peace of mind for a caregiver. Thankfully, Jennifer Woodruff is helping to remove these barriers. She’s founder of the Patient Better Project, which helps patients and their families form an at-home care team, enhance communication with health professionals, strengthen health literacy skills, and organize the most individualized and effective health story possible. Oh, and it also reduces stress! Because of this project, caregivers can now have the essential healthcare knowledge and confidence to thrive in today's medical landscape.

Jennifer Woodruff obtained a Master of Healthcare Administration in June 2014. She has been working in medical device and pharmaceutical sales for 15 years with a career focal interest in patient education. In her career, all products (medication, diagnostic test, durable medical equipment, and capital equipment) and services required patient education. This gave her an empathetic eye and unique talent to analyze health consumers and evaluate health proficiency skills quickly. By performing these evaluations, she was able to catapult her career to leadership in product evaluation, market analysis, forecasting, and prospecting medical devices (and pharmaceuticals) to potential prescribers and device recipients.
