As a patient with a chronic illness which has impacted your daily life, you and your family may feel uncertain about where to turn for support and guidance. As your healthcare advocate, I’ll meet with you to understand your perspective and what you’re hoping for. From there, my involvement may include delving into medical records and explaining what they mean, reviewing medications, and helping you understand your treatment options. Furthermore, I’ll collaborate with your providers so all are on the same page and, if needed, will make every effort to expedite your having access to the right doctors. Should the need arise, I’ll provide continuity if you transition from one level of care to another. The bottom line is that I accompany you and your loved ones such that you receive the best possible care.
