  • Evolving care for those who are suffering demands insight from people who have truly lived it. Justin Sandler has journeyed through that full spectrum—facing fear, anxiety, and anguish—and emerged with a powerful perspective on both delivering and receiving healthcare. I’ve learned so much from Justin—his story, insight, and compassionate, practical strategies for addressing systemic challenges. His approach is simple, yet deeply transformative. You won’t want to miss him as he brings advocacy for patients and caregivers to life.

    — Marianne Rowan-Braun, Chief Patient Experience Officer, UCLA Health

  • It has been an absolute privilege to welcome Justin as a keynote speaker at UCLA Health on several occasions. Each time, he delivers powerful, moving talks that speak to the heart of what it means to care for others. His ability to ground critical topics—like patient care and experience—in our shared humanity is nothing short of extraordinary. Justin doesn’t just talk about kindness; he embodies it. His presence reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a human being who deserves compassion, dignity, and empathy. His message inspires our teams to reflect, reconnect with their purpose, and deliver not just excellent care—but human care.

    — Julia Gaviria, Director of Service Excellence, UCLA Health


  • Justin Sandler’s voice as a cancer survivor and patient advocate has brought depth, honesty, and inspiration to UCLA Health. As a longtime member of the Patient and Family Advisory Council at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center, he’s helped shape more compassionate, human-centered care across the institution. His storytelling is raw, authentic, and transformative—resonating deeply with clinicians, administrators, and patients alike. I’ve seen his impact firsthand at CICARE employee retreats, Quality Week seminars, and the Gold Humanism Honor Society induction. His insight and presence are invaluable to any organization seeking to improve the patient experience.

    — Samantha Gaffney, Director of Hospital Administration, UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center
