Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My journey to becoming an Independent Patient Advocate is deeply personal, forged in the complexities of my own family’s health crises, including navigating rare cancer treatment for my mother and years of long-term care and rehabilitation for my father. These experiences, combined with my professional training and volunteer work as a long-term care ombudsman, exposed the critical need for a knowledgeable and compassionate guide in the healthcare maze. I founded this practice to be that trusted resource, committed to offering clarity, support, and expert guidance so families don’t have to face overwhelming choices alone.
