Advocacy

Our Care Managers can help by:

• Visiting with you while you are in the hospital or other health care facility.
• Ensuring that your care needs are met by speaking to health care facility staff.
• Helping with discharge from a health care facility to home.
• Deciding if home care service is needed and what level of care is appropriate.
• Obtaining medical supplies before discharge from the hospital, so that you have everything you need waiting for you at home.
• Meeting with your health care team members to create and maintain a Plan of Care.
• Reviewing your treatment plans such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
• Answering all questions you and your family may have about your diagnosis and treatment plan.
• Finding doctors that can provide second opinions.
• Keeping a current list of questions and concerns that you have regarding your care and condition.
• Accompanying you on your doctors appointments and acting as a spokesperson.
• Keeping local and long distance family members and caregivers informed about your overall health and progress.
