Imagine signing a document that could change your life forever—without truly understanding what it says. You assume you’re in safe hands, but buried in pages of printouts is a clause that might cost you your right to proper medical care, or worse. This happens every day to patients across the country. Their voices are lost in a maze of bureaucracy, their concerns dismissed, their health put at risk. But one non-profit charity is here to change that: Jeff Kornblau Partners for Patient Advocacy (JKPPA).
Too often, patients only seek help after a bad outcome has already occurred. But what if you could prevent a devastating mistake before it happens? What if you could ensure that your consent truly meant something, that your rights were protected, and that your medical care was handled with transparency and accountability? JKPPA is here to make that a reality.
At the heart of JKPPA is the belief that every patient deserves to be heard, understood, and respected. We fight for plain-language consent forms so you can actually understand what you’re signing—not just signing in a blank box. We push for transparency in your treatment so you don’t get left in the dark about your own health. And most importantly, we empower you to speak up before a problem arises, not after it’s too late.
The work of JKPPA is not just about advocacy—it’s about real people, real lives, and real change. Jeff Kornblau, the man who inspired this movement, dedicated his career to making a difference for patients just like you. His legacy speaks volumes:
A patient facing leg amputation due to a severe infection—Instead of accepting a tragic fate, Jeff personally ensured the patient was transferred to a hospital that saved his leg and his life with the right treatment.
Your story matters too. Tragically, Jeff Kornblau himself experienced the very failures he fought against. When he and his wife, Lynn (now JKPPA’s president), raised concerns about his own medical treatment, they were dismissed. The consequences were fatal. His story cannot be changed, but his mission lives on through JKPPA.
Every patient has a voice, but too often, it gets lost in the noise of the health care system. Have you ever felt unheard by a doctor? Have you signed a consent form without truly understanding it? Have you or a loved one suffered because of a preventable medical mistake? If so, JKPPA is here to listen, to advocate, and to fight for you.
Don’t wait for a crisis to speak up. Share your experiences with us, so we can help protect YOU and others from suffering the same fate. Whether you need guidance, advocacy, or just someone who understands what you’re going through, JKPPA provides the personal touch you deserve.
