Healthcare is complicated, but you don't have to navigate it alone.

Whether you're facing a new diagnosis, caring for an aging parent, recovering from an injury, welcoming a medically fragile newborn, or planning for the future, Lively Health Group offers the guidance, coordination, and advocacy you need to move forward with confidence.

Lively Health Group is an independent, nurse-led healthcare advocacy and care coordination practice founded on a simple belief: every person deserves a knowledgeable professional in their corner.

As a Registered Nurse and Certified Case Manager with more than 35 years of experience, I help individuals and families understand their healthcare options, coordinate medical care, navigate insurance barriers, and make informed decisions aligned with their personal goals and values.

My experience spans neonatal intensive care, pediatrics, home health, school nursing, managed care, complex case management, utilization management, and healthcare navigation. This diverse background enables me to support clients at every stage of life, from newborns to older adults, through some of life's most challenging medical situations.

I collaborate with physicians, hospitals, therapists, attorneys, employers, insurers, and community organizations to ensure that care is coordinated, communication is clear, and every client has an experienced advocate by their side.
