Blue Star Advocacy
your voice matters in healthcare
An independent patient advocate will help you navigate the healthcare system with experience, compassion, and dedicated support for you and your loved ones.
Experienced in healthcare, mental health, and legal systems
As your Blue Star Advocate, I provide independent, personalized patient advocacy and care coordination for families navigating long-term or complex care. Whether you're local in the Arkansas/Ozarks area or supporting a loved one from further away, I help clients and their families make informed decisions and maintain peace of mind.
I enable seniors to remain safely in their own home or an independent living community for as long as possible, delaying or avoiding managed care or facility placement. For clients already in skilled care facilities, I provide in-person, wholly independent observations to ensure quality of care, with vigilant monitoring to ensure my client's needs and rights are prioritized.
I also support clients and their families in understanding diagnoses, exploring options, and making informed medical choices that reflect the priorities and desires of my clients - not the healthcare system. Additionally, with more providers speaking English as a second language, I help clients communicate effectively with their providers, while also ensuring their concerns and priorities are understood by the provider.
