But there's an aspect that we don't often realize is necessary and that is  advocacy within the health care system. When facing death, many feel helpless and unsure of what steps to take. In her work, Diane Gray focuses on advocating for patients, fascilitating conversation between physicians and families and communicating options so that they can make informed descisions together.
