Twila Brase is president and co-founder of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF), a patient-centered, privacy-focused, free-market, policy organization established in Minnesota 23 years ago to protect patient and doctor freedom.
Her efforts have led to amazing results including 1) a national law requiring parental consent for research using newborn DNA, 2) a national campaign exposing HIPAA as a data-sharing rule, and 3) and the development of The Wedge of Health Freedom and the Patient Toolbox, easy-to-use tools to help patients understand their options in coercive situations and maintain control over their treatment decisions.
On an even broader scale, Twila’s “Health Freedom Minute” is heard daily by more than 5 million listeners on more than 870 radio stations in 48 states. She has provided testimony to members of Congress, in state legislatures, and around the country. Her work has been featured by CNN, Forbes, Fox News, THE HILL, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and more!
All of these efforts led the Minnesota Physician to include her on the list of the “100 Most Influential Healthcare Leaders” in 2020.
And in the midst of ALL that she does, she is the author of the eight-time award-winning book Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth About Electronic Health Records – that we really must talk about!
