Westchester Elder Law Attorney Anthony J. Enea Explores the Importance of Patient Advocacy and Advance Directives

Westchester County elder law attorney Anthony J. Enea, Esq., member of Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano, LLP in White Plains and Somers, N.Y., recently welcomed Ilene Corina, founder and president of the Pulse Center for Patient Safety Education & Advocacy, for a special episode of the Talking Seniors podcast on patient advocacy and advance directives. The episode explores strategies for seniors and their caregivers to become informed and empowered to take an active role in their health care.

“Ilene founded Pulse, a patient safety and advocacy organization focused on improving patient outcomes and sharing safety information, after a personal tragedy led her to discover how many others were similarly searching for answers as survivors of medical injuries,” said Anthony Enea, who has spent 35 years protecting the rights of seniors, the disabled and their families. “Her insights on patient education and being proactive – both before and after a medical procedure – are extremely valuable for older adults and their loved ones.”
