About The Author

Neal Pearcy

L. Neal Pearcy’s journey into healthcare advocacy was shaped by survival. Diagnosed with kidney cancer at seventy-two, he experienced firsthand what it means to rely on a system that is complex, fragmented, and often overwhelming. His recovery and continued health twelve years later gave him a rare long-term perspective on aging, medicine, and patient care.

Before becoming an author, Pearcy spent three decades in computer marketing with AT&T, gaining insight into systems, scalability, and technology. That background later informed his understanding of how healthcare systems function and where they fail. When illness forced him into regular interaction with doctors, specialists, and administrators, he recognized parallels between outdated business models and modern medicine.

Pearcy writes from the intersection of experience and observation. He does not speak as a clinician, but as a patient who has lived inside the system long enough to understand its strengths and weaknesses. His work honors healthcare professionals while questioning structures that limit their ability to provide truly personal care.

As a family man, Pearcy’s writing reflects generational awareness, how healthcare decisions affect not just individuals, but families over time. His commitment is rooted in clarity, dignity, and practical hope.

Today, Neal Pearcy continues to write, educate, and share insights on healthcare’s future, aging with purpose, and living longer with intention.
