MY MISSION

To Guide Your Workforce to Safer Care, Better Health, and Lower Costs. 

What is an Occupational Health Navigator?

 

An Occupational Health Navigator is an RN-led, board-certified patient advocacy service designed for employers who want to protect their greatest asset — their people. We help businesses reduce employee absenteeism, control healthcare costs, and boost workforce well-being by navigating complex care needs, ensuring safe hospital discharges, coordinating between multiple providers, attending appointments, and supporting mental health needs. With trusted medical expertise on your side, your employees get the right care at the right time — and your business saves time and money while retaining healthier, happier teams.

Preventing Hospitalizations and Rehospitalizations

Through proactive education, discharge planning, medication management, and follow-up coordination, I help employees avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and costly readmissions — two major drivers of high insurance claims and absenteeism. 

Medication Management and Error Prevention

Employee healthcare advocacy can increase understanding of medications, preventing dangerous (and costly) medication errors that can result in hospitalizations, emergency visits, or long-term health complications. 

Chronic Disease Management Support

Having a corporate healthcare advocate can help employees with conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease often need extra help staying on track. I offer personalized guidance and accountability to help them manage their conditions effectively — reducing flare-ups, hospital visits, and insurance claims. 

Support For Aging Parents

Employees caring for aging parents need the support of an employee healthcare advocate who can guide informed, confident decision-making. 

Mental Health and Stress Support

Healthcare stress is real. By advocating for employees and guiding them through the system, I reduce healthcare-related anxiety, which can improve overall employee morale, retention, and resilience. 

Insurance Navigation and Cost Awareness

Help employees understand their insurance benefits, avoid out-of-network costs, and choose high-value care options — all of which lower their out-of-pocket expenses and reduce claims against company health plans. By having a medical advocate for your business, you can reduce costs to your business and employees.

TAILORED SERVICES FOR YOUR BUSINESS

I understand that every business is unique, which is why I customize advocacy plans to meet the specific needs of each organization and its employees.

Q & A

Do patient advocates need a license?  No, there is no formal licensing required, however, there is a certification that demonstrates competency in the field. 


What is the difference between an independent patient advocate and a hospital/insurance advocate? Unlike hospital advocates, an independent advocate is private pay, so my alliance is with you. An advocate supplied by the hospital or insurance company will ultimately have their employer's interest at heart, first and foremost.
