Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
Rebeka Acosta is the first Board Certified Patient Advocate in Nevada and one of only a handful of advocates working in the pediatric healthcare space in the U.S.

After a 15-year career in healthcare administration, Rebeka welcomed two children to her family with complex medical conditions. She left the workforce and spent nearly a decade navigating the pediatric healthcare system - from insurance to out-of-state care to long-term surgery stays across the country. Her healthcare business background did little to prepare her for this journey and she decided then to share what she had learned.

Rebeka returned to the workforce in 2018, earned her Board Certified Patient Advocate credential and was determined to pave a path filled with guidance and resources for families in her community. Within three years she was recognized as the Independent Patient Advocate of the Year in Pediatrics by the Healthcare Advocate Summit and a Vegas Stronger Champion by KTNV Channel 13.

Rebeka continued her education and commitment to the community by earning the Community Health Worker designation and co-founding the statewide advocacy group Act4Kids Nevada in 2024. In 2025 she was appointed to the Advisory Board of the Nevada Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics as Patient & Family Advocacy Champion.

Rebeka lives in the greater Las Vegas area with her family, large number of houseplants, and two Great Danes.
