Our mission is to educate, awaken, and offer solutions to the current failing healthcare system. We believe in providing only factual information and do our best to simplify all educational tools we provide here so that anyone can understand how it all works.

When you get an outside advocate, you are getting a more objective point of view, we are arming employees with the right questions, pointing them to research and clinical trials, and suggesting potential alternatives to ask doctors about.

With privacy a concern for all sides, advocates can create some much needed separation between workers and human resources departments.

Perhaps the biggest reason companies are offering this benefit is that it can help keep workers focused on their jobs, rather than navigating an insurer's voice answering system or Googling everything under the sun about a medical condition.
