The Skills of an Advocate

- Maack-Rangel

Patient Advocacy: Managing the healthcare maze

Patient Advocate: The 'go to person' who can guide you through the healthcare maze. Patient advocates act as guardians of patients rights.

Patient Advocacy - Giving Voice to Patients

Patient advocates can brainstorm with physicians in a way that the patient cannot,
so that they can forge a partnership which helps the patient to get the best possible
medical care.
