You Deserve to Feel Heard in Your Own Healthcare
Care Companion Advocates provides compassionate, practical guidance for patients and families navigating the healthcare system — from appointment prep and insurance appeals to chronic illness support and discharge planning.
Guidance When the Healthcare System Feels Overwhelming
At Care Companion Advocates, we believe every patient deserves to feel heard, supported, and informed. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, preparing for a difficult conversation with your doctor, or trying to appeal an insurance denial, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
We help individuals and families understand their options, communicate effectively with their providers, and feel more confident and informed throughout their care journey.
- You are heard. We listen fully before offering any guidance.
- You are supported. We walk alongside you, not ahead of you.
- You are informed. We explain options clearly so you can decide with confidence.
About Me
My name is Kathaleen Deane
Living with a chronic illness has given me firsthand experience with the challenges of the medical system. Along the way, I have learned how to navigate those challenges for myself while also helping others through their own healthcare journeys.
That experience is what led me to start Care Companion Advocates — because no one should have to figure out a confusing system alone, especially when they’re already dealing with something hard.
