My path into patient advocacy began with the birth of my daughter in 1982. The experience left me questioning why care that felt disempowering and confusing was considered “normal.” That moment led me into nursing, where I quickly found that advocacy-explaining what was happening, translating medical language, clarifying medications, and helping patients understand their options and prognosis—was the most meaningful part of my work.
Advocacy became personal when my mother faced a prolonged, terminal illness over eleven years. During that time, alongside my work in home care and hospice, I lived the reality of navigating complex systems—researching options, coordinating care, questioning recommendations, and at times pushing back to ensure the right tests, treatments, or restraint from unnecessary interventions. I saw firsthand how overwhelming healthcare becomes when you are ill or caring for someone you love.
Through these experiences, it became clear that this work belongs directly with the patient, free from institutional constraints. Today, I provide independent, lifestyle-focused patient advocacy—addressing immediate medical challenges while keeping sight of each individual’s goals, values, and optimal long-term wellness.
