Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
The healthcare system is confusing and overwhelming. I am here to make sure you understand your plan of care from the diagnosis onward, as well as help communicate your needs, wishes and concerns to your healthcare providers. With over 18 years as a medical provider, I have extensive knowledge in working with hospitals, offices, medical staff and insurance companies so you can rest assured you will get the care and resources that are right for you.
While my professional experiences helped shape this path, I have also managed the care from dementia diagnosis through end of life with a parent so have intimate knowledge of the challenges caregivers and families often face.
