The Independent Patient Advocate You Need

Volume 5, Issue 5: May 2022

Hi Subscriber First Name,

I hope you are enjoying these spring days. This month’s newsletter offers information about resources to make navigating healthcare easier. Learn about client services available and how to easily book an appointment with me to discuss an issue you are navigating.

Ensuring patient safety is another critical aspect of navigating today’s complex healthcare system. I have included information about accessing patient safety information via the Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Safety Grade website below.

This newsletter also includes details about the Navigating Solo Network, a national online clearinghouse featuring resources specifically for Solo Agers. I have received great feedback about the site and it has been cited in some articles about solo aging!

As always, you can help others learn more about the importance and impact of working with an independent board certified patient advocate and the solutions I work toward simply by passing my name and this newsletter along to friends, family members, clients, and colleagues.

Navigating the complexities of the healthcare system can be time consuming and stressful. Contact me so that I can help ease the burden.

Thank you for your support,
Ailene Gerhardt, MA, BCPA
