Advocating for Patients: Inside the SewHope Mission in Guatemala

ASC Foundation Patient Advocacy Grant Recipient 

In this episode, Dr. Swikrity Baskota talks with Mr. Hector R. Gracia, who worked tirelessly with SewHope, this year’s Patient Advocacy Grant recipient, and with their work in Santa Ana, Petén. Hector shares the stories behind the mission—meeting women who have never had access to screening, training local healthcare workers, and witnessing the powerful impact of prevention and education.

This heartfelt conversation highlights the real meaning of advocacy and the difference one person can make.

"We got the GRANT now let's get to work!" - Mr. Hector R. Gracia
