<h2 style="white-space:pre-line">Clear Cane Chronicles</h2>
Clear Cane Chronicles is both a call to action and a practical guide for person-centered care.
Drawing on her experience with hospital stays, insurance systems, and the process of relearning how to walk, Cynthia Overton illustrates why seeing patients as people, not just cases, is essential to effective care.
Through stories of humor, challenge, and resilience, she explores how better alignment among patients, providers, and payers can improve real-world healthcare experiences.
Grounded in research and practical strategies, the book offers conversation starters and tools to support meaningful change.
Clear Cane Chronicles is a valuable resource for anyone committed to building a responsive healthcare system that centers patients’ evolving needs.
