We work with individuals and families who require tailored support, including finding a doctor and/or healthcare facility, working through the healthcare system, clinical communication, navigating a new health diagnosis, obtaining a second opinion, post-care follow-up, and more. Patient advocates provide education and support, ultimately improving health outcomes and reducing disparities for patients with complex needs or limited health literacy.
Patient advocates can do a lot, Medical Tourism RN can help with the following:
