Patient Advocates

When you are a patient in the hospital, your medical needs and your questions are unique. One size does not fit all, and Phelps Memorial Health Center is working to better respond to all patient needs. Phelps Memorial developed the Patient Advocacy Program to give each patient one person to work closely with to answer questions as well as provide information, understanding and support throughout a patient’s stay. Patient Advocates provide an additional layer of communication between patients, families and staff helping with the vital task of keeping patients informed about their care.
