195 Bett Martinez: An Activist Who Advocates for Others and Self

Bett Martinez has experienced more death-defying accidents than most in her lifetime.

An auto accident at 33, and again, later in life caused 2 serious head injuries, badly smashed broken legs and ongoing auto-immune issues. But Bett, who began to advocate for others early on, only dug in harder to find the answers that would help her walk again and manage the pain. 

Bett’s advocacy has taken many paths. She believes our society would do best if children of different ethnicities could learn to co-exist. Thus began years of working to bring Jewish and Arab children together.

As a veteran health care insurance agent, specializing in Medicare and long-term care protection, her interest in preparing for death has grown as she ages. She would like it if it were a  requirement for all people to create a thumb drive video that expresses their end of life wishes. She asks: “If you knew the date of your death, what actions would you take?”

Staying up to date and helping others keeps my brain straight – straight as can be given my age and complex health history. - Bett martinez

Research has led her to adopt Qig

ong, Tai Chi, acupuncture and herbs as a way to maintain her own hard won fitness. And now, she is turning her attention to advocating for relief for Alzheimer patients.

Bett finds answers through her unique combination of perseverance, research and purpose.
