When the Advocate Becomes a Patient...
I spend my professional life helping clients navigate the complexities of our healthcare system. Not only do I work with clients one on one, but I also offer educational talks on a variety of topics such as being your own best advocate, compiling a “go plan” in case of emergency, how to organize all your important documents, etc.
