Valerie Voluntad
Patina Health Champion
Valerie is a Patina Health Champion, where she works closely with her patients as part of their care team to ensure they have everything they need to live and age well. As a Health Champion, Valerie is the go-to advocate for her patients – or, in her words, their “cheerleader for anything related to health and wellness.”
Valerie, a graduate of Lincoln University, has worked in social services and healthcare for most of her career. She has extensive knowledge of how healthcare works and enjoys helping her patients navigate the complexities of the healthcare system to receive the care they need, when they need it. Valerie joined Patina because she loves helping her patients. In her words, “They come with a tapestry of stories about their lives, with knowledge of learned experiences.”
In her free time, Valerie enjoys cooking for company, gathering with friends and family (especially her two grandsons), going to the beach, walking trails and practicing mindfulness and yoga. Valerie grew up in a family of artists, and the creative gene did not skip a generation – she loves to paint whenever she has a chance. Valerie lives in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, where she likes to frequent her favorite Thai and sushi restaurants, and catch up with her community in the local coffee shop.
