How I Can Help
As a Registered Nurse with extensive experience in patient advocacy, care coordination, and guiding families through complex healthcare decisions, I bring a strong clinical foundation and exceptional communication skills to every individual I support. I leverage my background in navigating multidisciplinary teams, educating patients, and facilitating difficult conversations to ensure that older adults and their families receive clear, compassionate, and informed guidance.

Through Peiskos Wellness, I provide comprehensive advocacy and coordination services that bridge gaps across the healthcare continuum—including rehabilitation, hospice, assisted living, and primary care. I support advance directive discussions, streamline communication between providers and loved ones, and help families understand their options with confidence and clarity.

My clinical expertise allows me to deliver tailored support for older adults, including chronic condition management, mobility and fall‑prevention strategies, infection prevention, and wellness education. I prioritize dignity, comfort, and individualized attention, ensuring that every patient and family feels heard, supported, and empowered throughout their care journey.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I became a patient advocate after witnessing the gaps that often occur when patients and families face complex or end-of-life decisions without adequate guidance. In rehabilitation settings, I frequently found myself leading difficult conversations about end-of-life care when hospitals lacked the time or resources to explain what to expect. I saw the suffering that comes when families are unprepared for the normal processes of end-of-life, and I recognized the need for compassionate education and support. My role has also involved coordinating care among multiple specialists to ensure patients have accurate health information, current medications, and a clear plan—addressing acute issues that primary care providers and hospitalists often cannot fully evaluate. These experiences drive my commitment to advocacy, ensuring patients and loved ones feel informed, supported, and empowered in every stage of care.
