Fighting Against Cancer was founded in 2008 by Velvet Howell. Ms. Howell is a patient advocate with over 20 years experience in the field. With experience at all levels of hospital administration, Ms. Howell's expertise lies in her extensive knowledge of HIPPA Guidelines, Financial Counseling, Central Scheduling, Pre-Certification & Insurance Verification procedures, Coding & Billing Errors, and Cancer Consulting.
Velvet became an advocate when she herself was diagnosed with a papillary lesion. Although the lesion was later found to be benign, her concern for her health and well being led her to pursue a career guiding and assisting others through one of life's most challenging changes.
"Before receiving the initial diagnosis, so many things went through my mind. It was then that I could see life through the patient's eyes."
Since then, FAC has helped several people and their families focus more on their health by allowing someone else to take care of the red tape.
