Jennifer C. Jaff, Esq. is Founder and Executive Director of Advocacy for Patients with Chronic Illness. She also has Crohn’s disease.A 1984 graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, when her disease disabled her from leaving her home and she no longer could function as a trial lawyer after an exciting 25 year career, she turned her skills towards the internet and found a community of chronically ill patients in desperate need of legal advice and help.
She started Advocacy for Patients then, when she was too ill to leave her home. Now, she serves patients full-time. She is the author of Know Your Rights: A Handbook for Patients with Chronic Illness, and Friday Tired: A Feminist Rant on Healthcare in America in the 21st Century, and she is the Chronic Illness Advocate on RevolutionHealth.com.
