Article From Health.com About Patient Advocacy
Check out this post from Health.com written by By Sunny Sea Gold and Ariel Wodarcyk that articulates the need and benefits of having a patient advocate in our current healthcare climate.
They said “A patient advocate can not only help ensure that you get the care you deserve from your medical provider, but they can also take notes and assist you in remembering and processing important health information. ‘We take into appointments our own fears and anxieties, and the appointments themselves are often too short to address everything that needs to be addressed,’ Kim McIlnay, a certified patient advocate and former family physician in Folsom, California, tells Health. ‘We're not always clear what happened, what we're supposed to do next, or when we're supposed to go back.’"
As an organization, we aim to help you get the most out of your medical care and to maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle. That comes in many forms; from helping advocate for you at doctors appointments, helping you manage your medications, referring you to resources, or helping you life safely and age comfortably in your own home. We truly standby our slogan of “your health is our ONLY concern” and provide all services independently of any health care or insurance organizations. We receive no “kick-backs” for our referrals and have no allegiances to specific providers our doctors offices.
