Beyond Traditional Advocacy

PHACE offers public speaking services for health-related events, such as health fairs and conferences, designed to educate and empower attendees. We provide valuable insights to help individuals and businesses proactively manage healthcare needs. Topics include the importance of linking with a Primary Care Provider, the value of routine care with specialists, and understanding patient rights. We also address resources available to patients, such as health advocates and translation services, and teach self-advocacy skills to ensure appropriate education, referrals, and treatment from providers. Additional topics include accessing urgent care when needed, leveraging benefits like Medicare to offset medical costs, and understanding how unmanaged healthcare needs can contribute to rising private insurance costs.

PHACE offers both in-person and virtual advocacy classes to help individuals fully understand and advocate for their healthcare needs. These classes emphasize the benefits of self-advocacy, educate participants about patient rights, and provide an overview of the services and support available through healthcare providers. Topics covered include how to effectively advocate for oneself, when to implement healthcare proxy forms, MOLST, advanced directives, and living wills, and when to access professional health advocacy support. Advocacy classes are tailored to the unique needs of participants, ensuring a personalized learning experience.

PHACE provides 1:1 and group educational and coaching experiences to teach advocacy skills and support empowerment in managing healthcare. Participants learn practical skills, such as managing appointments and medications, and are guided through the development of personalized healthcare goals. Mentoring and coaching strategies are employed to promote independence and build confidence.
