We’re thrilled to introduce Debra Beauregard as the newest CTR Advisory Team member.
With over 30 years as a healthcare executive, Debra has worked alongside hundreds of leading specialists. Her career has been defined by a deep belief in collaboration, not just among providers, but with patients.
“It’s completely normal to be overwhelmed by a diagnosis, unsure about treatment plans, and confused or unaware of options. I’ve had close friends and family members who didn’t know how to speak up, to ask questions, or to reach out for support, waiting too long to make important decisions about their care plans, and the results can be devastating,” Debra shares. “Everyone deserves the confidence that they’re not navigating their care journey alone. It takes teamwork, with open communication and collaboration to ensure the best possible outcomes.”
That belief in putting the patient first is also what first connected Debra and CTR’s founder, Candy Hammeras, years ago—first as colleagues, then as close friends. Their shared conversations about the gaps in patient advocacy and care helped shape the foundation of CTR itself. We’re honored to have Debra’s voice, experience, and heart helping guide our mission forward.
Please join us in welcoming Debra, and stay tuned for more of her insights as we continue the vital work of guiding patients through complex health challenges with clarity, courage, and compassion.
Welcome, Debra Beauregard, MBA – Founding Advisory Team Member
