Living with chronic illness isn’t just about symptoms, It’s about quiet negotiations, new vocabularies, mental gymnastics, dismissive healthcare professionals, fear, bureaucracy, law, policy, and so much more.
In her new book More Person Than Patient, Coalition Ambassador Gwen Mayes shares her personal story and talks to hundreds of other patients and experts to reveal the common threads that connect people across disease groups.
This event and this book are essential for anyone navigating long-term health challenges, as well as their partners, parents and friends.

With honesty, clarity, and hard-won perspective, Gwen gives us a compassionate, insightful analysis of the many facets of life with chronic disease. Both the content and the structure of the book are extraordinarily useful. You can open it at any moment and find what you need—whether it’s validation, research, clarity, or a way forward.
With this book, Gwen expertly sheds light on the patient experience, the healthcare system, and the many ways people with chronic disease are working to be defined— not by how they suffer, but how they live.
