Bedside Advocates

One-on-One

What is the compelling purpose of Bedside Advocates?

The universe of healthcare is pulling apart, like the galaxies themselves, at an increasing velocity. With every technological innovation, every primary care practitioner dropping out of practice, every human voice in healthcare that is replaced by a computer-generated voice, every smile and comforting hand at bedside that has become a plastic tube, mechanical device or a beeping monitor, the universe of healthcare flies further from each of us in times of anxiety, illness and critical need. The bedside advocacy model, at its core, brings an informed friend to the patient's side and to the concerned family to facilitate better and safer care, and, of equal importance, restores intimacy, trust, knowledge and a helping hand whenever needed.
