Has it been difficult to manage your home, family, and work while caring for a loved one?
We all wish we could be in three places at once when life's challenges present themselves. Are you or a loved one not being heard or not receiving the information needed to make an informed decision about your care?
A patient health advocate works for YOU. As a patient health advocate, I hold no allegiance to facilities, hospitals, or insurance companies.
I ensure YOUR VOICE is heard.

About Me
I founded By Your Side Patient Advocacy, LLC to bring dignity, respect, empowerment, and peace of mind to clients as they try to navigate a complex healthcare system.
Too many times, people get lost in the shuffle or the whole person goes untreated. You are more than just your diagnosis. I assist every individual as if they were my own family.
​
As an Independent Patient Health Advocate, I know how important clarification of information is to positive health outcomes. Having been in the health care field for three decades as a Registered Nurse, I understand the obstacles people face when attempting to get health care needs met.
I have assisted many individuals over the years to navigate a sometimes confusing and fast paced environment. Practicing empathy in the work I do as well as in life, is the foundation for everything.
My experience includes acute care bedside nursing, developmentally disabled individuals with complex medical needs, skilled nursing, case management, residential care, hospice care, elder care and patients' rights advocacy.
At no time do Advocates make decisions or recommendations regarding specific treatment choices, provide clinical opinions, or perform medical care of any type, even if they possess clinical training or credentials.
