What We DoWe are patient advocates. We work with clients to help them make more informed medical decisions, access care, navigate employment issues, find support, and build their own self-advocacy skills as needed. We serve patients with life-threatening and serious chronic illnesses and their families, regardless of income or residence. Our patient advocacy services are free. We rely upon donations to provide our advocacy services. We train professional/graduate students in law, medicine, social work, nursing, pharmacy, public affairs, psychology, biology, health systems engineering, and others who will work in or around the health care system in their future careers. Clients are empowered to be self-advocates, whenever possible. Client and advocate decide together what advocacy is needed and steps to be taken. Advocacy services may include:
