Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
Healthcare is changing, making it hard for patients to feel like an individual and not a diagnosis or disease. After advocating for my husband with heart disease, myself as a cancer survivor, and my aging parents with significant healthcare needs, I realized how confusing the healthcare environment can be for someone with no medical knowledge. Each of these situations opened my eyes for my passion for patient advocacy and helping others navigate complex healthcare situations. Through my work in various clinical roles, including critical care, ICU clinical management and nursing education, I have developed skills and expertise that I would like to share with others in making confident, informed decisions about the healthcare they receive.
