The Power of a Professional Healthcare Advocate

Dr. Nicole Rochester found herself on the other side of the doctor-patient relationship as a caregiver for her father. She began to see the difficulties of coordinating care and acting as an advocate on her father’s behalf. She knew she wasn’t alone in this struggle.

“Emergencies don't happen conveniently. You're not able to run home and then find that manila folder that has the advanced directives and everything that you need. You need it right now.

Do what you can to rectify that, but also don't continue shaming yourself also. That's been like really important for me lately. Just like, giving myself as much grace as I can.”
