Patient Advocacy with RiseUp! Wellness

What is Patient Advocacy?

Patient Advocacy services help speak up for your rights, interests and preferences within the healthcare system. Healthcare Advocacy can include treatment support, social services and assistance in navigating our complex healthcare system. Being a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of experience, I can help as a guide within our healthcare system. 

My role can include: 

● Reaching out to and locating appropriate community resources 

● Education around diagnoses 

● Helping you advocate for treatments/procedures/tests that are appropriate 

for patient care 

● Help you fill out Government forms 

● Advocate for you at school or in a workplace 

My Approach

I provide emotional support, compassion, empathy, listen to your concerns, help you build on your strengths and support the development of your own advocacy skills.
