Patient Advocates
Patient advocates are trained professionals who assist individuals navigating the healthcare system. They help patients understand their medical conditions, treatment options, and rights, ensuring their concerns and preferences are heard. Advocates may communicate with healthcare providers, review medical bills, or coordinate care to improve the patient’s experience. Their goal is to empower patients, reduce confusion, and ensure they receive appropriate, respectful treatment. Essentially, they serve as a supportive partner, guiding patients through complex medical processes and helping them make informed decisions about their health care.
