Halley Thaxton (she/her), a Digital First Response Supervisor from Apache Junction, Arizona, ensures her team has the resources they need to succeed. She is also the Treasurer for our Women Empowering Women Employee Resource Group (ERG). Halley understands the challenges of advocating for one's health. She endured a 12-year journey of endometriosis and adenomyosis. Her struggle began with excruciating menstrual cycles that caused vomiting. Her parents took her to a doctor, and they found a small ovarian cyst. The doctor prescribed birth control, but her symptoms persisted. After the birth of her first child, Halley returned to the ER due to pain. Doctors initially misdiagnosed her with appendicitis. Post-surgery, the surgeon informed her that her appendix was fine, but her uterus appeared boggy. Her gynecologist dismissed her, suggesting pregnancy as a solution. Furious, Halley never returned. Fortunately, Halley finally met a doctor who believed her and her symptoms. After years of searching, an ultrasound confirmed she had adenomyosis, where endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. Surgeons removed endometriosis adhesions and performed a hysterectomy, the standard treatment for adenomyosis. This supportive doctor transformed her life, demonstrating the difference compassion can make. “In many ways, I became disillusioned with healthcare. I had to fight to make doctors believe in my pain. When I met my last doctor, he immediately believed me. I was so shocked, I cried.” Today, Halley helps Accolade members prepare for their medical appointments, ensuring they ask the right questions and find new providers if dissatisfied with their care. “I find purpose in ensuring our members know we will believe them and advocate for the care they need.” Recently, Halley appeared on the Today Show with Dr. Tara Narula and two other women, discussing their healthcare experiences and the importance of self-advocacy: https://accd.co/4eVyv5f. Our Accoladian community is incredibly proud of Halley for her dedication to women's health. She is truly an inspiration to all of us. #WeAreAccolade #AccoladeStrongerTogether #WomenEmpoweringWomenERG Tag an amazing woman who inspires you ️️⬇️
