An expanded version of my core services are summarized below:

I provide necessary education on chronic diseases and treatment plans, promote collaboration and communication amongst the health care team, ask the right questions of health care personnel, and any other needed activities in order to promote the safety and wellness of my clients
NAVIGATE the complex health system
ADVOCATE for individuals to receive high quality care. I do this by such actions as asking the right questions of health care personnel, requesting a referral, second opinion, or further resources when appropriate, and anticipating/ planning for future health care needs
TRANSITION clients to appropriate living conditions and proper levels of care. This may be from out of a private home into independent or residential living.
