Patient Advocacy

What is Patient Advocacy?

Patient advocacy can look different depending on the area of the healthcare system. Overall, patient advocacy services are designed to help individuals navigate the complex healthcare system. This can be offering personalized support for seniors, those with chronic illnesses and people requiring assistance with medical decisions. 

I would act as a guide for you through the healthcare system. This can range from filling out forms, setting appointments, connecting with other healthcare professionals that can offer financial, legal and social support. I can support you with communication to healthcare workers. For example, talking with the doctor regarding diagnosis and/or treatment. I can provide emotional support and help navigate conflict and find solutions or other options the fit with you.
