Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I am a social worker and a daughter of a nurse. It is challenging living with a chronic illness and there is no one way to do it right. I support my clients to live their best life as they define it whether living with chronic illness or facing a new diagnosis. Whether you are a patient or a caregiver (I have been both) I can help you. You don't have to do this alone.
