Loriana Hernandez-Aldama is an Emmy award winning journalist, former news anchor and national medical reporter turned 2x cancer survivor and inspirational speaker after a diagnosis of AML Leukemia. In an instant, Loriana went from telling everyone’s story to “Becoming the Story” What Loriana discovered during her near-fatal, year long hospitalization left her in awe. She uncovered major voids in the patient experience, health disparities at every turn, and the two biggest stories of her career: PREhabilitation mattered and so did her connections. . On the 5th anniversary of surviving AML Leukemia and a bone marrow transplant, Loriana got two unexpected gifts: Breast Cancer and the discovery of a genetic marker (CHIP), a cancer predisposition gene, “gifted” to her in her new DNA. Today, Loriana leverages her 20+ years of on-air experience and patient experience/discoveries to amplify the patient voice and bridge the gap of health disparities. Her mission is to improve the patient experience, patient compliance and patient outcomes with her non-profit, ArmorUp for LIFE where she shares her 3P protocol Prepare-Present-Prevail® to survive illness. Her book “Becoming the Story: The power of PREHAB” will be out in May.
