Patient Advocacy Group Patient Advocacy Group
ArmorUp for Life is a women and minority-owned 501c3 advocacy and support organization that works to improve patient outcomes by giving people, especially those in underserved communities, the tools and resources they need to reduce their risk of health conditions that make it more difficult to treat cancer.
The organization was founded by Emmy Award-winning journalist Loriana Hernández Aldama in 2016 after her personal battle with AML Leukemia revealed a healthcare system filled with voids and disparities. She determined then to do everything in her power to bring about much-needed change.
