At Sirona Health Advocates we understand that illness can easily overwhelm, making it difficult to think clearly. As a nurse health advocate, I work closely with my clients, their doctor(s) and family as they navigate their way through the medical maze of an unexpected diagnosis, long-term illness, end of life care, or other challenging medical concerns. Finding the best specialists, understanding how to make the best use of second opinions, knowing what a diagnosis means and giving support through decision making and treatment options - all are key aspects of the role we play as a health advocates.

Our approach is guided by a commitment to support clients as they navigate the healthcare system, understand and weigh different treatment options, and discover their goals and values in relation to their health and healthcare.

The process usually follows the following four steps:

1. We’ll have a complimentary call to discuss your health concerns, ways we can work together, and commitment of services.

2. Once a comprehensive health review is taken, a personal assessment plan is created, with relevant action steps that support your goals and values.

3. I can help you to better understand your diagnoses, treatment options, new and/or alternative treatments, and arrange consultations with top specialists and medical centers.

4. As your health advocate, I’ll be a part of your team. I can accompany you to clinician appointments, visit you during hospital stay(s), and see that your health values are represented.

My goal is for you to feel empowered, informed, and in control of your medical care and overall health.
