Jessie Gruman
Jessie Gruman (December 7, 1953 - July 14, 2014〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cfah.org/blog/2014/in-memoriam-jessie-gruman )〕) was active in the movement to incorporate evidence into health care and to help consumers adopt healthier behaviors. Gruman was the founder and president of the Washington, DC-based Center for Advancing Health from 1992 to 2014. She was the author of the book ''AfterShock: What to Do When the Doctor Gives You — or Someone You Love — a Devastating Diagnosis'' (Walker, 2007, second edition 2010). She lived in New York City.
At 20 she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. As was customary at the time, she was treated with heavy doses of radiation, which is now known to often lead to a succession of cancers later in life. At 30 she developed cervical cancer, and at 50 she developed colon cancer. At 57 she was diagnosed with stomach cancer, which she (announced ) on the Center for Advancing Health's blog. At 59 she was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer.
As president of the Center for Advancing Health Gruman drew on her own experience of treatment for five cancer diagnoses, interviews with patients and caregivers, surveys and peer-reviewed research to describe and advocate for policies and practices to overcome the challenges people face in finding good care and getting the most from it.
==Early life and first cancer==
Gruman was born in Berea, Kentucky in 1953, and graduated from Vassar College in 1975 with a BA in English. She received a PhD in social psychology from Columbia University in 1984. Her interest in psychology was sparked by her experience when she had been treated for cancer at the University of Wisconsin Medical Center at the age of 20. Despite her life-threatening condition, she struggled to comply with treatments that would increase her chance of her recovery. This casual, irrational misbehavior in the face of extreme risk drove her interest in the complicated forces that influence how people act with regard to their health and health care.
