Esther’s Story: Part One of Two

Welcome to the YOPN Podcast.  Our guest today is Esther Labib-Kiyarash, a Certified Professional of Healthcare Quality with extensive experience in both hospital and ambulatory quality management. Esther's specialties encompass regulatory compliance, all facets of Quality Improvement, Lean methodology, and Continuous Survey Readiness. Additionally, she brings her expertise in Patient Safety and Patient Advocacy to the table. It's important to note that Esther also faces the unique challenge of living with Parkinson's disease.

Remarkably, Esther chose to retire in September 2023, at the age of 48, to devote her time and energy to patient advocacy. In this first part of our two-part series, we will delve into Esther's personal journey. Be sure to stay tuned for Part 2, where Esther will share insights on patient advocacy and the importance of coming together to advocate for the rights of individuals living with Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD).
