Being sick causes stress that contributes to unclear thinking and decision-making when you need it most. I believe that everyone needs someone to advocate for them during times of illness. I advocate for you and will be with you and your family during this difficult time. I will explain what the physician is telling you. I will be present to protect your healthcare rights and safety. I understand healthcare, I speak the language and I know the system very well. Some of the areas you can expect me to advocate for you:
- Speak with your doctors and healthcare team. I will ask the appropriate questions most people do not know to ask.
- Educate you on what is happening with your condition/diagnosis and what other therapeutic options might be helpful to you. Ensure that all necessary tests are ordered and not unnecessarily repeated creating more cost.
- Attend doctor’s appointments with you to make sure communication between all your doctors is taking place.
- Evaluate your medications and supplements for safety, interactions and any side effects.
- Analyze ALL your medical records and research all treatment options to create a chronological order of your health history.
- Most importantly, I will spend time with you to meet your healthcare needs.
