New Guide to Navigating Illness Empowers Patients

Brenda Snow's new book praised as "an important tool for those with serious health challenges" by founder of The Schapiro Center for Multiple Sclerosis 

WILLIAMSBURG, Va., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Virginia Founder and CEO of Snow Companies, Brenda Snow, has announced the release of her upcoming book, Diagnosed: The Essential Guide to Navigating the Patient's Journey (Amplify Publishing, March 2025). Enriched with Snow's own experiences as a patient, this book is poised to be a lifeline for patients and caregivers facing serious health challenges.

Snow's personal story is nothing short of inspirational. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), she faced the common challenges of all new patients: discovering a true diagnosis, finding the right medical professionals to partner with, managing a career and parenthood with illness, and navigating the complexities of our healthcare system.

Snow eventually turned her frustration with healthcare into action, founding Snow Companies—a first-of-its kind agency that bridges the gap between life science companies and the patients they serve. Snow, through her company, paved the way for leading healthcare organizations to partner with patients and caregivers.

After decades of amplifying patient voices, Snow is putting her experience to paper and drawing on the thousands of stories she's encountered to provide essential insight for new patients. Diagnosed, as Snow describes it, is the guidebook she wished she had when she first discovered her illness. "Receiving a life-changing diagnosis is overwhelming, but patients shouldn't have to go through it alone," says Snow. "My hope is that this book provides people with reassurance, so they can understand and navigate the emotions and fears that will inevitably bubble up on their healthcare journey."

Praise for Diagnosed and Brenda's work has been pouring in from patient advocates and medical professionals alike. Dr. Randall T. Schapiro, founder of The Schapiro Center for Multiple Sclerosis says, "[Diagnosed] should become an important tool for those with serious health challenges, no matter what their conditions are." Amy Wyatt, a notable advocate for patients with epilepsy shares, "Having known Brenda Snow for eighteen years and witnessed her remarkable expertise firsthand, I can attest to her profound impact on those facing a daunting diagnosis and learning to live in a new normal."

Diagnosed: The Essential Guide to Navigating the Patient's Journey is available for purchase at all major retailers, including Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Bookshop.org.
