Why Patient Advocacy is Essential for Getting the Care You Deserve
July 14, 2025
Navigating today’s healthcare system can feel overwhelming. Patients often leave appointments with unanswered questions, confusion about their treatment plans, or delays in getting the right care. This is where a patient advocate becomes invaluable.
A nurse patient advocate helps ensure you are connected to the best providers, asks the right questions during appointments, and makes sure you fully understand your treatment options.
What is Patient Advocacy?
Patient advocacy is the practice of standing by patients to protect their rights, clarify information, and support them in making informed decisions about their health.
