Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My first health care advocacy experience was over 15 years ago when I facilitated a bone marrow transplant at Duke University for a seven year old patient. The patient's mother was having challenges navigating the patient's care, with specialty doctors and health insurance challenges.
It was discovered after swift research and testing that the patient's brother was an identical match.The patient was treated and her disease remains at bay.
This experience launched me my career in health care advocacy. I have worked with healthcare systems throughout the country navigating a plethora of situations, diseases, insurance appeals & billing, legal issues and more. In addition, I have acted as power of attorney for clients. This experience has been very edifying, as the core of the work is working with the patient to get the care that they need, with integrity and grace.
