Important Information About Me
- I am insured
- My geographical area of practice is New Jersey and New York
Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
A pioneer Patient Advocate, founder of Health Care Connect, and am a certified patient advocate first through the Alpus Program at the University of Miami in 2010, and then the national credentialing exam in 2018.
I came into patient advocacy after spending 18 years in the medical device industry, calling on various hospital departments ranging from the O.R. where I taught surgeons how to use products during laparscopic surgery, to the Cardiac Catheterization Lab, Interventional Radiology, Nephrology, NICU, ICU, Vascular Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, General Surgery and Infectious Disease, in addition to the Pulmonary, Urology and OB/GYN Departments. I also worked with Hackensack University Medical Center on Laboratory outreach.
This wealth of experience provided me with the ability to understand firsthand the difficulties patients encounter when traveling the healthcare system and the skills needed to resolve those issues. The lack of communication and coordination throughout the medical continuum frustrates and overwhelms patients and their loved one.
I know how to penetrate the healthcare maze and guide the patient through the obstacles created by our complex and fragmented healthcare system.
