Terry Bay quit her job at a large pharmaceutical company to take care of her parents. She worked tirelessly to learn benefit information, reduce her father's drug costs and help them avoid medical bankruptcy. After four years of being her parent's caregiver and advocate, she did not return to her six-figure salary as a district sales manager, but, instead, started helping others seniors navigate the Medicare system on a volunteer basis out of her home. Overwhelmed with response and nonstop pleas for help, Bay turned this work into a business called Senior Patient Advocates. She now serves over 500 clients across Wyoming and other states.
