ER, urgent care or your doctor?

MEET TIFF, THE ANGRY NERD
I’ve been where you are.
I grew up in West and Southwest Philly. We lived in poverty, I had asthma, and I didn’t have health insurance, so the emergency room was where I got my care. I was in and out of it, and I stayed more times than I can count.
Asthma runs through my whole family. Three of my daughters, my brother and three of my nieces live with it too. My daughter and I are both autistic and have ADHD, so I know what it’s like when the system isn’t built for the way your brain works.
Now I’m a first responder, and I’m finishing my degree in public health this December. I know how the system works now. SJ Health Awareness is how I help you work it too.
