Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I learned the importance of my skills as an advocate when I took on this role when my mom battled cancer. During the seven years that she fought this disease, I became her health care advocate. Even though my mom was a pharmacist and was more than able to understand her disease and her treatment options, I was the one who discussed all the health issues with her and her doctor. I became a part of the "team" as do most family members.



As a nurse since 1976, I ahve seen the communication breakdown in our healthcare system get worse, so advocacy is my way to brifge that communication gap and provide best possible health care for my client.
