Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My parents were in the medical field, my father was a physician and my mothAer a RN. When my parents became acutely ill I resigned my position as the Chief Operating Officer of Skilled Nursing Facilities and moved in with my parents until they passed away. My goal was to care for them and honor their health care goals. I had been an RN for over 30 years. I found I too needed support and someone to help alleviate my anxiety and stress. Yes, I did have a great knowledge base for services but what if I did not have that knowledge? My goal was to start my own service offering support, guidance and advocating for the sick. It was very important to me when my parents were sick to honor their wishes. The providers we chose were great to work with, they listened and set up their treatmet plan that aligned with their wishes. With their help I was able to be the daughter and spend quality time with my parents. I have been a private patient advocate for six years and it has been the most rewarding six years of my professional life. I learned a lot from being on the other side and those lessons I have carried with me in my business. I will be there for you when you are in need of quality care.
