Take the Stress Out of Healthcare with a Patient Advocate!
Feeling overwhelmed by the healthcare system?
You’re not alone!
The healthcare system has gotten more and more complicated over the last few decades and doctors typically only have 15 minutes or less to spend with patients. That’s a very short window of time to fully absorb what they have to say and figure out the right questions to ask.
That’s why we are here, let us be your guide!
Our team of compassionate nurse (RNs & NPs) patient advocates are here to make your journey through the healthcare system smooth and stress-free.
From understanding complicated medical jargon to coordinating appointments and treatments, we've got you covered.
With our support, you can focus on your well-being while we handle the rest.
Say goodbye to confusion and hello to peace of mind with your very own personalized care plan!

We currently cover most of Massachusetts except Western MA, The Cape and Islands. We cover the Charleston area of SC and all of Beaufort County SC. We feel that getting to know you and you providers in person is an important part of advocacy, therefore we do not offer virtual advocacy.

Depending on the policy, some long term care insurance will reimburse for our services once it has been activated and the elimination period is completed.
We work specifically for you so we don't have insurance companies dictating what we can or cannot do.
