Why an Advocate?
A patient advocate is an ally and liaison for you, your providers and
family, a personal touchpoint and guide to care.
“As a Board Certified Patient Advocate, I represent your interests and work directly for you. My role is that of facilitator and sometimes diplomat who keeps important conversations going, a project manager to streamline complex processes and manage key tasks, and a guide to help you know the right questions to ask, then make sure they’re answered.
I provide one-on-one support for the emotional, logistical and decision-making challenges you face, both inside and outside the healthcare system, and can help you think through priorities.
In our work together I can tap into a network of physician advocates, medical specialists, leaders in research, experts in insurance and every healthcare-related field for answers and personalized solutions.
Nothing is more important to me than your confidence, your clarity about the path forward and at peace with health decisions you make.”
