How I Can Help
WE BRIDGE THE HEALTHCARE GAP
A Nurse in the Family provides high-quality, independent RN reviews of your medical records, expert navigation through complex healthcare situations, and clear education to take the confusion out of what to do next. We get to the root cause of issues like repeated falls, unexplained symptoms, or declining health—not just treating the surface problem. We help ensure your voice is heard by doctors and care teams, advocating for the answers and care you deserve. If you have multiple doctors but don't feel like you're improving, if you're taking multiple medications and no longer understand why, or if you're facing a treatment plan that feels overwhelming—you don't have to do it alone. You can have an experienced RN advocate by your side, someone who understands the medical complexities, asks the right questions, coordinates your care, and fights for your best outcome. We bring clarity, confidence, and clinical expertise to your healthcare journey—so you can focus on getting better, not figuring out the system.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My Dad asked that when the time came, I would keep him comfortable. I spent the last 19 days by his side coordinating care and getting him home on hospice. After years 15 years caring for others, I got to care for my dad. I brought him coffee every morning, gave him a shave, washed his hair, gave him mani/pedi while listening to Christmas music and got him his last Christmas tree. We even managed to play a few hands of blackjack!
I coordinated with multiple docs and directed his care and transition home. The same way I cared for him, he cared for me. He had a legacy box for me. We had open communication about what end of life looked like for him as he started preparing me about three years ago that this day was coming and what to do and what he wanted when the time came.
I questioned my decisions a few times, but now… I see I made good choices and I feel I did him proud. His decisions were just that, they were his. What a beautiful gift I gave him doing what he wanted when he was no longer able to communicate that. After years of dedication to others, I had the pleasure to care for my father. It was after his passing that I realized that there is a genuine need to help others.
The hospital and health system is a cold, dark place filled with sadness, fear, and exhaustion. People are often left confused because there is no one to take the time needed to explain. The time that is needed to feel that you genuinely matter has been lost and replaced…fueled by profits. The public does not know what they’re entitled to, they don’t know what to ask for. They are unaware that not all agencies are created equal. They need someone who will listen, take time, and assist them in whatever difficulties they are facing.
The idea of providing this individual service is where A Nurse in the Family came from. I hope to be a guiding light to my community, to provide support and solace.
