Patient Advocacy

A care plan summarizes your health concerns and expectations, while incorporating  your medical  team's recommendations. All of your lipedema patient information and medical documents will be organized and easily accessible.Â

Navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming. We can assist in coordinating  your care and making sure your needs are met. This includes,  finding the right provider, appointment preparation, and understanding and implementing  treatment options.

Understanding your symptoms and how they affect your body is a critical step in feeling better and managing lipedema. We can  provide symptom tools, connections to professionals to help with nutrition, pain management, mental health , lymphatic drainage, exercise modifications, garment fitting, skin care routines and more.Â

We can assist you in compiling and organizing your medical  records, making it easier for you and your providers to easily access and update before and after appointments.

A patient advocate provides expert support for their clients facing chronic illness, a new diagnosis, or unexplained symptoms. The patient advocate's goal is to empower their client's health journey through personalized guidance and dedicated advocacy. This service allows the client to focus on their health, while the patient advocate helps them navigate complex medical systems, ensuring the client's needs are heard and met.
