Hello everyone, I’m Dr. Tabu Terrell, a retired emergency physician and the founder of HealthStrategix, an independent patient advocacy practice based in Fort Mill, South Carolina, just outside Charlotte. I practiced emergency medicine for 14 years and was board certified in the specialty for two decades. Long before I started HealthStrategix, I was the person friends and family called when a diagnosis or treatment plan didn’t make sense to them.

My focus is the difficult middle stretch of an illness: when specialists give conflicting opinions, when a family is facing a hard treatment decision, or when care has become complicated enough that nobody seems to be looking at the whole picture. I help patients and families understand what they’re hearing from their doctors, prepare for appointments, and choose a path that fits their goals. HealthStrategix is direct-pay and independent of hospitals and insurers. I meet with clients in person in Fort Mill and virtually.

I’d love to connect with advocates who focus on billing, insurance appeals, or care coordination, since those clients often need clinical interpretation too, and I’m happy to trade referrals. My site is www.gethealthstrategix.com. Glad to be here!

Greetings! I am so glad to have found this group! My advocate journey started with my mom, and her diagnosis with kidney cancer....and now I am the co-founder of a company that has build an app that helps you skip the phone trees and get your medical calls done quicker. So much more work to do. WE are based in San Jose CA (yes, another Silicon Valley start up). WE are eager to figure out how to help patients be able to navigate the healthcare system, and this group is our jam. Thank you for having me! And, I just noticed an AI seminar on October 6th. This site is great!

Hello everyone. My name is Shanequa. I'm reside in NC. I primarily work with complex patients. I'm looking forward to learning from you all.

I can attest that when my husband was in the sub-acute rehab for 60 days, not a single staff member ever said, «Here's your toothbrush and spit cup.» If I wasn't there that day, the teeth didn't get brushed.

That was last year, and he just went through an extraction. UGH!

Shelbey, I've sent several people to your GNA profile recently. Hopefully they turn into business for you.

great article, Shelbey

Great job, Jeff!
