## FAQs

### Why should I join?

The Change Champion program provides an opportunity to make a real impact on research and medical record access, all while bringing positivity to your community. As a part of this crew, you can share your own health journey, help shape healthcare services through your feedback, and be compensated for your hard work.

### What will I do?

Change Champions are driven by the desire to create a positive impact and have a strong belief in the potential of research. Here are some of the ways you can collaborate with us:

- Spread the word and share knowledge through your social media and other favorite platforms.
- Dive into creative projects like crafting videos or writing blogs to share your own experiences.
- Play a vital role in advancing research by shaping PicnicHealth's latest products and contributing to their improvement, ensuring they meet the needs of your community.
- Bring more change-makers on board by referring others to sign up for PicnicHealth.

### What is the time commitment?

As fellow patient advocates, we totally get that for many of us in healthcare, advocacy isn't our main gig—it's often the second, third, or even fourth hat we wear! So, here's the deal: we're all about flexible participation. Whether you can chip in a few hours a month or rock it multiple times a week, it's all good, and it totally depends on your schedule and the project.

### Can I participate in other ambassador programs?

Absolutely!
