Healthcare is a fast-paced and often overwhelming environment. Often people leave doctor's appointments or hospital visits not knowing a lot about their new diagnosis, new medication, or plan of care. As a nurse I am able to spend time with you to facilitate your understanding of your health and care. Legally, I cannot diagnose diseases, prescribe medications, or offer medical advice. However, I can help you understand your diseases and adhere your plan of care. I can advocate for your regarding your care and help you become well informed to advocate for yourself. As an independant nurse, my focus is you and your health, I am not bound by employment to a particular employer.

Specific services for barter include:

- Disease specific education
- Connection with local or online resources related to disease
- Medication education
- Assistance with a medication adherence plan
- Assistance in understanding a plan of care prescribed by a healthcare professional
- Help in working toward adhering to your plan of care
- Accompaniment to medical office visits (local only)
- Preparation for upcoming medical office visit
- Inpatient hospital visits (local only, some exclusions apply, can discuss)
- Basic assistance understanding insurance benefits
- Potential for other services locally (nursing home tour accompaniment, in-home care preparation, etc)

I am willing to provide these services individually, but I also see many of them being packaged together for a more holistic experience. I am willing to provide services to a family member of someone I am bartering with.
