Our Founder, Dr. Natasha Ramontal became a patient advocate after the heartbreaking loss of her 32-year-old brother in 2006, whose life was cut short due to a lack of proper care and the absence of someone to speak up on his behalf. This was devastating for her entire family and opened her eyes to the urgent need for patient-centered support. Since then, she became a registered nurse and patient advocate. Natasha has devoted her life to assisting patients, their families and caregivers to prevent others from experiencing the same pain. Natasha helps patients understand their rights and options. Through clear, compassionate communication with providers, she empowers them to make informed decisions about their care.
Navigating the healthcare system is complicated—even for those within the field—which is why her unwavering commitment is to educate, guide, and advocate for patients so they can achieve the best possible outcomes.
