Health Recovery Consulting

Introduction: What is health recovery consulting? A health recovery consultant, also known as a patient navigator, patient advocate or health coach, works with patients, families and caregivers as they journey with, through and beyond treatment for long-term illnesses such as cancer, hepatitis or multiple sclerosis. A health recovery consultant works directly for and with the patient, family and caregiver to provide information and research, advocate on your behalf, find solutions to problems, identify potential needs and provide resources and guidance during and through treatment and as you re-enter life. What can a health recovery consultant do for me? A health recovery consultant will work with you, your caregiver and family to create an individualized action plan designed to help manage and address those areas that can feel overwhelming. A health recovery consultant helps implement a plan designed to organize and deal with administrative tasks, solve logistic and daily life problems, advocate for you with the health care system, mobilize your support network and provide emotional support as we navigate through treatments, decisions, successes, set-backs, challenges and triumphs and re-entry to life and work or end-of-life experiences.
