He has spent more than 30 years seeking to bring about positive change within the health care as a senior health care executive, consultant, academician, and author.<\/p>\n John understands not only how the health care delivery should work, but how it works in real life.<\/p>\n An outspoken advocate for patients’ rights, John has published widely on the need for patients to receive appropriate, safe and effective care \u2013 a topic covered in detail in his book, The Myths of Modern Medicine: The Alarming Truth About American Health Care (Rowman & Littlefield, 2014). His willingness to challenge conventional wisdom and seek out innovative solutions to the complex problems inherent in the health care industry has made him a frequently cited expert on health policy issues by numerous national publications.<\/p>\n John’s passion for advocacy was evident as early as 1992, when he founded and published The Leifer Report, a cutting-edge health care journal. Contributors included President Bill Clinton and Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, as well as Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, industry visionaries and other key influencers within the health care industry.<\/p>\n John has held faculty positions with both the University of Kansas School of Medicine’s Health Policy and Management Program, where he served as the inaugural executive in residence, and the University’s William Allen White School of Journalism. In 2006, he won the Kansas Health Foundation Excellence in Teaching Award.<\/p>\n His quest to better understand the psycho-social spiritual needs of cancer patients caused Leifer to return to school in 2009 to complete a master’s degree in Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. His most recent book builds upon that experience.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_width=”on” width_unit=”off” custom_width_percent=”100%” use_custom_gutter=”on” custom_padding=”0||0|8%|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0%” custom_margin=”40px||40px||false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” padding_top_bottom_link_1=”true” padding_top_1=”6vw” padding_bottom_1=”6vw” padding_1_tablet=”|10%||10%|false|true” padding_2_tablet=”|10%||10%|false|true” padding_2_phone=”||||false|false” padding_1_last_edited=”on|desktop” padding_2_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”3.17.1″ module_alignment=”left” locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ padding_tablet=”|10%||10%|false|true” padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” padding_bottom=”6vw” padding_top=”6vw” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.10.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.9em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Playfair Display|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” header_6_font=”||||||||” text_orientation=”right” max_width=”600px” max_width_last_edited=”off|desktop” module_alignment=”right” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n Lori Lindstrom Leifer, MD, is both a cancer doctor and a cancer patient.

Hence, she has both the mind and the heart to work with cancer patients.<\/p>\n After receiving her Doctor of Medicine from the University of Kansas School of Medicine, Lori went on to complete her training at both the University of Kansas and Tufts-New England Medical School in Boston.

It is a moment when time stands still, a moment laden with anxiety and uncertainty. A new journey is beginning, and it is one for which you are likely ill prepared.<\/p>\n For a newly diagnosed patient, it is like going on a trip without knowing the destination or method of transportation, with no map to guide you and no planned arrival time. It is little wonder that patients often feel overwhelmed and unable to participate in critical decisions about their care. Our logical minds stop working just when we need to be thinking with absolute clarity about our next steps.<\/p>\n After You Hear It’s Cancer<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>is a survival guide for this difficult time. It helps you see through the initial fog of distress, anticipate the curves and bends in the road ahead, and make the right decisions for you and your family. This book covers a broad range of topics,\u00a0from the selection of your care team to critical decisions at the end of treatment.<\/p>\n John and Lori integrate cutting-edge research with the perspectives of numerous cancer patients to yield an empathetic but pragmatic handbook that should be required reading for all cancer patients and their caregivers.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.johnleifer.com\/book\/after-you-hear-its-cancer\/” button_text=”More about the Book” _builder_version=”3.17.1″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#3550a0″ button_border_width=”10px” button_border_color=”rgba(210,159,104,0)” button_border_radius=”100px” button_font=”Lato|900|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” button_bg_color_hover=”#4159a0″ locked=”off” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#4159a0″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]<\/p>\n Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

The video moves from the moment of diagnosis thru the grace bestowed by a difficult journey with many hurdles along the way. Your Cancer Advocate is prepared to address an extensive list of issues that arise during the journey through cancer. Questions may relate to clinical, financial, emotional, spiritual, or functional issues. When a question is outside of your CA\u2019s expertise, he or she will refer you to a trusted resource that possesses specific knowledge about the issue you have raised.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When can a Cancer Advocate be most beneficial?” open=”off” _builder_version=”3.17.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” custom_margin=”10px||10px||true” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true”]<\/p>\n An Advocate brings a fresh perspective plus innumerable resources that can benefit patients and their loved ones at any point in the cancer journey.
