"Ellen Menard is a 'one of a kind.' Not only does she have many years of senior management and HR executive experience, many extraordinary accomplishments, but she also is a warm and giving person to those in need. Her knowledge and erudition, along with her enthusiasm and humor, when she speaks to groups- large and small, are truly singular in my experience. If I tell you that Ellen's presentation leaves not a dry eye in the house, you can believe me when I also tell you it is because her empathy and compassion shine through and touches all who have been fortunate enough to hear her speak." Jo Moyer, Vice President, Lee, Hecht, Harrison.

“Ellen Menard's book The Not So Patient Advocate shares insightful do’s and don’ts for how to be diplomatically assertive to receive the quality of medical care you want, need and deserve. Ellen’s unique “trifecta” of experience as a former healthcare executive, MBA and patient give this book a welcome realistic approach. After reading just a few pages, you’ll understand why Ellen was asked to speak at the Worldwide Healthcare Congress and why she won the Society of Human Resource Management’s first ever Strategic Business Award for her outstanding contributions to the field of Human Resources.”
