Better Know Healthcare

A little tagline serving a BIG purpose:
to suggest that there is always more to know about our healthcare, and, well, we’d better!

Whether you need help getting started or support as you go along, tapping into Nancy’s expertise is your first step toward peace of mind.

About Nancy

I can tell you that I have been inside The Kaleidoscope, too. As a daughter, caregiver, care coordinator, sister and employee I would experience those all-too-brief times in caregiving when things are became calm, clear and into focus. Then BOOM, everything you’ve worked so hard to maneuver changes and disrupts your pretty view.

Armed with education and relevant work experience my sister and I thought we were the two best equipped daughters on the planet to assist our parents as they aged. My sister as part of a five-county Ombudsman office and I as a Legal/ Financial Specialist within a global EAP we were confident in our phenomenal research capabilities and had a wealth of resources at our fingertips.

“Patient Advocacy is still an emerging field and Nancy is among those who serve as a Mentor and leads national calls for our professional organization. Coaching and mentoring come naturally for her, along with her positive energy, vast knowledge of the area, and available resources. All of this combined, provided me critical information to help start my own independent patient advocacy business.”
