On a mission to improve health and well-being of those who struggle to access healthcare, All About You Healthcare Advocates provides health education, health assessments, and health navigation services to bridge the gaps.
However, this tall task can only be accomplished by a passionate and knowledgeable group of experts who understand our complex healthcare system.
Who Are Our Rock Stars?
Our dedicated and compassionate team keeps our community members front and center. Tanesha Owens, our founder, was motivated to start the organization following her personal experience with a chronic condition and realization of the daily struggles with work and living faced by someone who is ill. Tanesha is a board-certified nurse practitioner and patient advocate.
The organization’s operations and community outreach efforts are overseen by Katherine Villacis, who is passionate about working on purpose-driven initiatives in the non-profit world.
Our clinical efforts are led by Ka’Necia Phelps who has more than a decade of nursing experience under her belt and is passionate about helping minority populations and community members.
Our Board Member Le’Shonna Bruce has been steeped in healthcare for a long time, with experience as a pharmacy tech and now as a licensed practical nurse. Le’Shonna is responsible for the quality of care received by the pediatric patients that she oversees, and she brings this experience to the services that we offer at All About You Healthcare Advocates. Her goal in the near further is to start and oversee a pediatric advocacy program for parents with kids with special needs and illnesses.
Sharon Stoeckel, a public health executive with expertise in the health care and insurance industries, runs the organization’s volunteer services group. Sharon leverages her proficiency in leading cross-functional teams and her leadership and collaborative skills to efficiently manage our organization’s volunteers.
“I am committed to promoting health equity and improving access to healthcare for underserved communities. This passion drives my volunteer work with All About You Healthcare Advocates, where I focus on ensuring that vulnerable populations have the resources and support they need,” according to Sharon, who’s been with the organization since May 2024.
Building relationships that foster a sense of community and service and bringing individuals together with a shared purpose of helping those in need is at the heart of Sharon’s work with All About You Healthcare Advocates. While she finds it challenging to balance a full-time job alongside her volunteer work, witnessing the passion of the youth who genuinely believe in giving back and making a difference makes it worth it. She would like to see the organization hire full-time paid staff so they can offer more services to underserved communities in their county and eventually across the state.
