Kim Raver to join 'The Advocate'

Kim Raver, of "24" and "Grey's Anatomy" fame, will feature in drama pilot "The Advocate."

Raver plays tough-as-nails business woman Francis "Frankie" Reese, reports variety.com.

After a dangerous misdiagnosis, her character experiences first-hand the hazards of the U.S. health-care system. She leaves her successful career behind unexpectedly after the medical scare to become an advocate for those lost in the same ever-changing system.

"The Advocate" was inspired by the real story of former talent agent Byrdie Lifson-Pompan, who collaborated with doctor and health education specialist Valerie Ulene to launch a health-care consulting firm.
