Debbie Hellenbrand is a patient advocate and professional speaker from the Netherlands. After years of medical neglect and the birth of her two children, she and her children were diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Their lives changed when they finally found a specialist who not only understood EDS but remains involved in their care today. His support inspired Debbie to speak out against the medical neglect and allegations faced by patients living with EDS and related conditions.
