 L. Bradley Schwartz, Esq.

After serving on the Board of Directors of NAHAC and PACB, L. Bradley Schwartz founded Greater National Advocates in order to wake up the nation to the lifesaving benefits of Patient Advocacy and connect patients and loved ones with qualified advocates who can help. Mr. Schwartz represented insurance companies for almost 20 years until he entered the local emergency room with a worsening headache in 2004. Over the course of many hours with no meaningful treatment, he fell into a coma.  The ER physicians missed the warning signs of overwhelming sepsis caused by bacterial meningitis, and upon awakening from the coma, all four of his limbs were amputated. In 2018, Mr. Schwartz founded Greater National Advocates where he serves as president of a national public service organization dedicated to promoting Patient Advocacy with the goal of reducing instances of medical error.
