Illness is a stressful time for patients as well as for their families.The best-laid plans can go awry, judgment is impaired, and put simply, you are not at your best when you are sick. Patients need someone who can look out for their best interests and help navigate the confusing healthcare system – in other words, an advocate.

Your Personal Patient Advocate will provide the patient and family with information about care, hospital protocol and procedures. By acting as an intermediary between the patient and the Hospital, they can insure you receive the best quality of care available at the lowest possible cost.

While now more than ever, it is essential for individuals to take an active role in their own healthcare, the patient is often the least able to advocate on their own behalf. Family members may have other critical demands on their time or lack the expertise necessary to fully cope with the challenges at hand.
