Experienced Patient Advocate
Free 30 min Intro Call
Years of Experience
In-Person & Virtual Support Available
After 20 years of experience in public health and as a hospital administrator, I decided to devote myself to patient advocacy. Now I can actively help others in crises to effectively manage their medical care including admissions, referrals, transfers and discharges. As a care manager I also monitor delivery of medical and nursing services, patient's medication use and specialist referrals. Always available 24/7 on a national basis, we pride ourselves on the quick resolution of most issues facing our clients. We provide emotional support to family members and patients alike.
I work closely with patients and concerned family members to develop strategies to manage medical challenges by calling hospital and medical providers, social workers and other staff to clarify the diagnosis and treatment plan. I will establish contact with attending physicians to pursue results of tests and procedures, obtain medical records, suggest second opinions and monitor discharge planning. At the same time I will keep everyone informed of progress on a daily basis. After the initial call I can send you a proposed one page contract from Solace to sign if we agree to work together.
During the introductory call, we can address the issues facing you and your family such as current diagnoses and treatments for you or a loved one. I will propose some preliminary steps to address your concerns and we can decide if you'd like to work together. My expertise in contacting hospital staff and getting results has been proven over the past 20 years. Our success rate in addressing and solving complex medical challenges is exceptional and we pride ourselves on our timely solutions to all problems.
