Patsy Bates returns to thank Antoinette
For True Navigation  Notably famous for her Health Net lawsuit and self advocacy Patsy presented to the group on self advocacy and Antoinette's help back when she was going through treatment. Patsy on January 19, 2013 returned to thank Antoinette personally. She shared on how Antoinette helped her navigate to get the medicine she needed for chemotherapy without seeing her face to face. The newly formed organization was known as Sisters Network Long Beach back then and was who Bates initially contacted reaching Antoinette. While her book does not name the organization or Antoinette she states "you are in my book", and this was "true navigation". Ms. Bates gave survivors signed copies of her book and encouraged survivors to write and tell their stories.
