Bio: Quiana Womack is a Certified Nurses Aide of 23 years as well as a unit clerk working in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. In 2016, Quiana enrolled in a complex care program with Crozer Keystone, and was eventually connected with a social worker (and now friend) that encouraged her to become an advocate for herself and others. Quiana is passionate about sharing her story to empower peers to advocate for themselves, for their health, and to be heard by healthcare providers. She believes that people are not defined by their limitations. When Quiana isn’t advocating, she enjoys spending time with her family, coloring, making positive collages, and writing poetry while sitting at the riverfront watching the water!
