Healthcare Advocacy is the process of helping others navigate the medical industry. An effective Healthcare Advocate will improve the care given to a loved one. Nobody tells us what to do when Mom starts to forget things, becomes unsteady on her feet or when we just know intuitively that the aging process is affecting her and that she'll need help soon. Healthcare Advocacy is not the practice or law or medicine - you have to do it. Helping Our Parents provides a step by step method for helping your parents as they age, suffer illness and face the end of their lives.
