A patient advocate is a trained professional who guides individuals and their support team through the complexities of the healthcare system. This includes navigating screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care. Patient advocates help arrange medical appointments and may attend visits alongside their clients. Patient advocates facilitate communication with healthcare providers ensuring that their clients have the information needed to make informed decisions. Patient advocates also connect clients with financial, insurance, legal, and social support resources to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care. You may hear patient advocates also referred to as healthcare navigators or health advocates.
