Regina Holliday

Regina Holliday is an accomplished patient rights advocate and talented artist, with a passion for creating change in the healthcare system. She spent 16 years in retail management and six years teaching art before committing to her advocacy mission. Her husband Frederick Allen Holliday II's struggle to get appropriate medical care during 11 weeks of continuous hospitalization at five facilities inspired her to create a series of murals that portray the importance of transparency and clarity in medical records. Her "73 cents" mural, which depicts her family's journey through the medical system during Fred's cancer care and their desperate attempt to access his medical record, became a part of the national healthcare conversation, featuring in top media outlets like CNN and the Washington Post. Regina speaks at medical conferences to provide the patient's view in health information technology, paints concepts discussed at medical conferences, and runs an advocacy movement called "The Walking Gallery." The Walking Gallery is a group of artists, medical providers, technicians, governmental employees, and advocates, who showcase patient-centered care paintings on their business suits to create awareness of the patient's voice in healthcare discussions. She is an alum of the University of the District of Columbia and Oklahoma State University, and is a former Art Ambassador at Clinovations and Fellow at TMIT. Regina continues to spread her message of patient advocacy, helping people all over the country find their voice in the healthcare system.
