Bruce Weinstein, BCPA

I’ve had long had a long career in advertising and publishing but my extensive health-care experience has been the core of my life-long journey.

·      In the 1980 and 90s, I was an A-Team counselor for GMHC in New York City, and as a peer counselor at the free clinic in the Gay Community Center in New York’s Greenwich village.

·      I joined the Child-Life program in 2000s at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City to help make the medical journey a little easier for children admitted to the hospital. 

·      Since 2022, I have worked as a patient experience liaison at Yale New Haven Hospital where I round on newly-admitted patients to make sure they are receiving care that meets their physical and emotional needs.

·      I sit on the Patient and Family Advisory Counsel (PFAC) at Smilow Cancer Hospital in New Haven.

·      I am active with the National Patient Advocacy foundation (NPAF) contributing to their blog and webinars.

Helping people navigate their health care has brought me into contact with the best doctors in the country including oncologists, gastroenterologists, pancreatologists, infectious disease specialists, ENTs, surgeons, endocrinologists, urologists, physiatrists, and pelvic floor specialists.

My work with clients honed my expertise with cancer and cancer treatments including stomach, ovarian, breast, lung, liver and pancreatic cancer, as well as GIST tumors and pancreatic IPMNs. I have also worked with patients dealing with complex digestive complications including IBS, IBD, and SIBO.

I live in New England with my collie Nosh and my husband of 30 years.
