The role of private patient advocate is among the newest innovations in medicine and wellness, a role made necessary by the increasing complexity and impersonality of today’s healthcare system and shaped by the most critical of all agendas – your own needs and welfare.
As private patient advocates, we represent, support, and continuously advise YOU at each important point along the path toward a successful outcome – healing, recovery, closure.

According to a recent report in the New York Times, (October 26, 2009) there are four common situations that call for a private patient advocate:

“Patients’ illnesses or injuries are life-threatening, and they are unable to act in their own behalf."

"Important decisions must be immediately made regarding treatment, but patients are temporarily unable to act for themselves because of severe physical or emotional trauma."

"Although otherwise competent, patients are unaware of their rights, benefits or treatment options, as may happen with patients who have cancer, heart disease or severe arthritis."

"Patients lack the mental ability to make rational decisions regarding their rights, treatments and benefits.”
