Building the Next Chapter of How Healthcare Works

My name is Jeanette Harrison, and I am the owner and CEO of How Healthcare Works, LLC.

For years, I have worked in healthcare, education, consulting, and writing while building a business focused on helping people better understand healthcare systems, burnout prevention, and practical approaches to improving health and well-being.

Six years ago, I restarted my life in Idaho with approximately $2,400 and my dog after leaving an abusive relationship. Since then, I have rebuilt my life through full-time work, consulting, writing, and entrepreneurship. Along the way, I earned a Master's degree in Public Health, published books, launched educational resources, and continued investing in work that helps others navigate complex healthcare challenges.

Today, I am working to move from survival mode into a period of focused growth.

To do that, I am launching a small capital campaign with a goal of raising $5,000 in working capital for How Healthcare Works.

The purpose of this campaign is simple: to create 2–3 months of financial runway while I reset, strengthen operations, expand content creation, and focus on growing the business.

This funding will allow me to spend less time chasing immediate income opportunities and more time building long-term assets, including:

• healthcare education content

• consulting and training resources

• burnout prevention programs

• writing and publishing projects

• business development and outreach

For much of the last six years, I have done whatever work was necessary to pay the bills and keep moving forward. While that persistence helped me rebuild my life, it has also made it difficult to devote sustained time and energy to growing the business to its full potential.

This campaign is an investment in creating the space needed to focus on growth rather than constant survival.

If you have followed my work, read my writing, purchased one of my books, benefited from my educational content, or simply believe in what I am building, I would be grateful for your support.
