What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and compassionate Patient Advocate with a strong desire to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. My experience spans various roles in healthcare, where I have leveraged my exceptional communication and problem-solving skills to support patients and their families through their healthcare journey. I have facilitated care for patients with kidney disease and heart diagnoses, ensuring they receive the necessary support after being discharged from the hospital.
Throughout my career, I have coordinated services with nursing, dieticians, and patient health advocate staff, significantly reducing the likelihood of patients returning to the hospital. My previous roles have included working as a Community Liaison Specialist, where I assisted participants in accessing essential services, including medical care and therapies. I pride myself on building strong relationships with community partners and advocating for the needs of participants, ensuring they receive a seamless and effective support system.
With a background in various healthcare settings, I am committed to making a difference in patients' lives. I am eager to continue my journey in a challenging role where I can further contribute to improving healthcare outcomes and patient satisfaction.
