When a healthcare crisis strikes, a personal advocate to collaborate with and oversee the process can reduce stress, improve your overall experience and outcome, and put you on the path to better health.
Our healthcare system is complicated and impersonal. As such, it’s easy to feel reduced to a diagnosis, a disease, a body part, a problem.
Illness can easily overwhelm, making it difficult to think clearly. I help my clients organize their healthcare, truly understand their options, and make the best choices for themselves. This approach is guided by my commitment to support clients as they navigate the healthcare system, understand and weigh different treatment options, and discover their goals and values in relation to their health and healthcare.
“I am so grateful we found Stacey. Our daughter lives with a complicated and uncommon health concern for which there are no easy or obvious fixes. Thanks to Stacey’s national search and coordination of evaluations by accomplished professionals, we are able to tell ourselves we have done all we can to evaluate the possibilities. Though we cannot control the results, Stacey put us in control of the process, and offered compassionate and clear-eyed counsel along the way.”

My Approach
I will work closely with you, your doctor(s) and your family as you navigate your way through the medical maze of an unexpected diagnosis, long-term illness, end of life care, or other challenging medical concerns.
Conversation
We’ll have a complimentary call to discuss your health concerns, ways we can work together, and commitment of services.
Assessment
Once a comprehensive health review is taken, a personal assessment plan is created, with relevant action steps that support your goals and values.
Guidance
I can help you to better understand your diagnoses, treatment options, new and/or alternative treatments, and arrange consultations with top specialists and medical centers.
Partnership
As your health advocate, I’ll be a part of your team. I can accompany you to clinician appointments, visit you during hospital stay(s), and see that your health values are represented.
My goal is for you to feel empowered, informed, and in control of your medical care and overall health.
I welcome new clients. Please contact me directly with any questions about my practice or your concerns, or to set up a consultation.
