Hello! It's Tracy here from Listening Advocates! I work with the aging population… including solo agers and those managing injury, illness, and those in facilities. It is a BIG job with the aging population growing everyday, and the population of the younger caregivers is much less. I am passionate about talking about it as people are still digesting that idea and what that means! Advocates are more than needed! (If anyone has a good link to understanding Medicaid, I would appreciate… and coupled with LTC and denials -that would be helpful! )
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!

Hi all,
I am Sarah Knopp, founder of Living Before Dying Corporation in Berkeley California. My speciality is cancer, and chronic illness with co-morbidities. I am a MBC patient, (thank goodness for modern medicine). My practice is a hybrid method of non-clinical advocacy, coaching and mentoring, depending on client needs. I enjoy researching different treatment options and clinical trials.

Hi everyone!
I’m Katherine Albert, founder of Beacon Cancer Navigation in Colorado.
With over 15 years of experience inside the healthcare system and being a cancer survivor myself, my practice handles the chaotic logistics and non-clinical project management for families, employers, and oncology practices. We focus on building clear care roadmaps, untangling medical bills, and finding critical resources—including financial assistance to help with daily expenses and other needs. We offer hands-on support to help families apply for these programs, and more. We even accompany patients to their medical appointments when they need an extra advocate by their side.
I’m excited to join PA360, share resources, and connect with fellow independent advocates!

Looking forward to connecting!

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.
