Patient Ambassador Program Overview

The Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) Clinic Patient Ambassador Program launched in May 2025. This free program connects new FND Clinic patients with individuals who have completed the FND treatment program. Patient ambassadors may meet with you after your neurological assessment at the start of your treatment in the clinic, upon request. They are here to share their experiences, talk with you about your own experiences, and provide support/encouragement to help you continue your treatment journey with confidence.**

**Please note: Patient Ambassadors are meant to serve as a support to patients in the FND Clinic. They cannot and will not provide ANY medical advice. These ambassadors are for FND Clinic patients only and patients should only fill out the form below after their initial neurological assessment in the Clinic.

To be paired with a patient ambassador, please complete the following steps:

1. Let the FND Clinic Nurse Navigator know that you are interested in connecting with a patient ambassador.
2. The Patient Ambassador will reach out via My Health Connection within 3 business days of the request to schedule a phone call with you.

“I was diagnosed with FND at 35 years old, my daughter was 10, my marriage 12 and my life in its prime. I had a medical history of CVST and COVID-19 and originally imagined these isolating events leading me into the clinic were unparalleled to anything that could be related to within it. As my guard lowered and trust widened, what I found were peers with more similarities than differences, despite my unique medical history. What this program taught me was how to live a life with FND instead of living a life led by it. Because more important than receiving this diagnosis, is bravely stepping back into life after it.”
