An RN Patient Advocate is a healthcare professional who works independently to support you—the patient—through every step of your healthcare journey.
Unlike hospital staff or insurance case managers, an RN Patient Advocate works only for you, with your best interests at heart. With clinical training and experience in the healthcare system, they help you:
Understand medical information, diagnoses, and treatment options
Communicate effectively with doctors and healthcare providers
Ask the right questions and get clear answers
Coordinate care across multiple specialists or services
Make informed choices that reflect your values and goals
Reduce stress by having someone by your side who truly understands the system
As a Holistic RN Patient Advocate, I also look beyond just the physical symptoms—supporting your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being too. I bring compassion, clinical expertise, and whole-person care to the heart of healthcare navigation.
In short: I’m here to help you feel more informed, more confident, and more supported when it comes to your health.
"I believe that empowered patients experience better outcomes, and I am dedicated to ensuring that every voice is heard and respected in the healthcare journey. Because your health matters—mind, body, and spirit."
- Dinah J. Harper, RN
