The advocacy mission of CHA is to simplify health issues for our clients and help them to live more comfortably in this "patient-centered" and "consumer-driven" health care world. We will work as your advocate in coordinating the best possible care for your unique situation.

As board-certified Emergency Physicians, we have the scientific expertise to support your health needs and the systems expertise to help you navigate the chaotic medical system. We have also both been patients ourselves and have lovingly managed illness and end-of-life care for our closest family members. We know the medical system is chaotic and complicated and often lacks the personal attention and warmth that we need in times of crisis. As doctors, mothers, wives and daughters we are committed to humanizing the health care process for your family.

Our integrated support services begin with a comprehensive evaluation that should include input from all caregivers including family, medical caregivers and home caregivers. We work in tandem with your current caregivers and medical team. Services include but are not limited to:

• Personal consultations at home or in the hospital
• Review and explanation of current care and treatments
• Obtaining, aggregating, summarizing medical records
• Making referrals that are best for your specific needs
• Conferring with your health care team
• Coordinating communications with family members and caregivers
• Researching medical conditions/treatment options
• Evaluating current medications
• Contacting insurance companies
• Identify all treatment possibilities and community resources
