Our Advocacy Process

  • A red jagged starburst shape on a white background.

    Assessment

    We start by understanding your values, needs and goals. We review your medical history, current situation, and areas where you need advocacy services.

    Action Plan

    An experienced Advocate will create an Action Plan based on information collected during the assessment. We will meet to review and refine it before starting our work together.

    Advocacy Work

    The last step? We take action: executing the plan, tracking progress, and communicating updates regularly. If priorities shift or new information emerges, we’ll reorient our focus to stay aligned with your goals.

Areas of Expertise

  • Individual Advocacy

    We listen closely so you and your family feel heard, understood, and supported. Our experienced advocates provide clear information, practical options, and steady emotional presence so you can make informed decisions with confidence. We stand with you every step of the way, honoring your values and empowering your family to navigate care, planning, and transitions.

    We provide one-on-one help navigating the healthcare system, appointments, referrals, insurance, transportation and medical bills. We can review records, explain insurance benefits, communicate with providers, and create a clear action plan. We help find timely and qualified second opinions and can research alternative treatments or clinical trials.

  • Collaboration and In-Person Advocacy

    We use our extensive healthcare experience to help you communicate with your healthcare team in a way that feels right to you.

    If desired, we can attend appointments, either virtually or in-person, or visit you in the emergency room or hospital to help you and your family understand your diagnosis, plan of care, and support you in expressing your needs.

    Our experience in inpatient and emergency medicine allows us to quickly interpret the medical language and culture that may feel foreign or uncomfortable for you.

    In-person services are available in Whatcom, Skagit, Island, Snohomish, King and San Juan Counties. Travel fees may apply. Virtual services are available nationwide.

  • Education

    We leverage our professional training and our work experience to empower you with client education on diagnoses, medications, procedures, and how healthcare systems operate. We use our skills to help you confidently navigate the healthcare system.

  • Medication

    Medication reconciliation and organization keep you safer and makes managing care easier. We will create a comprehensive list of all medications and supplements, as well as check for medication interactions.

    We can create a system for medication refills, safe storage and administration that fits your needs.

    Note, we do not prescribe or administer medications.

  • Paperwork

    Whether it’s organizing bills, tracking down past records, getting a referral or arranging a second opinion, we use our knowledge of the system to systematically and efficiently meet your goals.
