Getting To Know What You Want.

I'm new to the WEGO Health community, but not new to life as an advocate for my health. I've been living with type 1 diabetes since I was a little kid, and throughout my childhood, I didn't have a lot of exposure to other kids who had diabetes. As an adult, the pool of other PWD (people with diabetes) became even shallower, which is what brought me to the internet in the first place. I wanted to connect with other people who understood my health condition, and I wanted to help spread awareness, accurate information, and understanding to the people in my community.

Diabetes isn't the only condition that's talked about on WEGO Health - there are all kinds of people here, living with all kinds of health conditions. I've spent a few weeks poking around here, checking out the different groups and members, working with the WEGO Health admin team, and trying to gain a more global understanding of what other health advocates are doing … and seeking.

To that end, I've been brainstorming about the different kinds of webinars, etc. that we, as health advocates, would like to see presented here. I'd really love to hear from you guys. What topics would you want to see covered? What kinds of experts would you like to see interviewed/presenting? What's the one thing you came here hoping to find, and how can we help you find it?

All of your feedback is crucial in keeping our community growing and learning from one another, and increasing our personal and collective advocacy efforts. So please, don't be shy!
