From Roberta
November 2019
"Thank you so much for the Patient Advocacy Class.
I do not have enough positive adjectives to describe how terrific I thought it was.
Interesting, informative and inspirational, are just three that come to mind.
You took a topic that might have been presented in a “cut and dry” manner, and created something memorable.
The interactive activities (although I hate to participate) were so useful in giving us a real taste of what advocacy is like.
You are a wealth of information.
Your passion shows through. Although Pulse was born from a personal tragedy, you have grown something that helps so many. I’m sure your effect has a ripple effect that effects even more than you know about.
Pulse has armed me with a different way of thinking."
You also provided us with many printed items that we can refer to - which I love (and need.)
Thank you again for everything you do.
I am grateful to have met you and so glad I took the class.

Be Ready - Help Family and Friends!                        PATIENT SAFETY SHOULDN'T BE AN AFTERTHOUGHT!

Patients may not be in a position to be active in their care and they may need to focus all their energy on getting well.

An advocate is crucial to the patient's care. But what exactly does an advocate do? Who would make a good patient safety advocate?

The person who loves the patient most may not be the best advocate. His or her emotions may get in the way of good communication and helping in clear decision making.

Family-Centered Patient Advocacy Training will help prepare participants to be a patient safety advocate for one person or the whole family!  Classes on Long Island since 2006.

Please call for more information (516) 579-4711 or e-mail [email protected]

"Everyone should take the advocacy training.  It prepared me in helping my loved ones to understand that they need to take charge when it comes to navigating the healthcare system and the importance of awareness of patient safety in controlling the quality of their care."                                              Chira B.

 

"PULSE's Patient Advocacy Training provided an exceptional learning experience!  The experts packed each session with great insights and fun exercises to anchor the information.  Using the knowledge and tools developed in the class, I was amazed at how quickly my advocacy skills improved!  This is "must have" training for anyone committed to becoming an effective patient advocate!"                                                                                                                    David F.

 

"Nearly everyone starts as a patient and ends as a patient.  In between, we may be called on to be advocates for friends and family members, or to find an advocate who can speak for us.  As a FCPA participant, I learned how to help others navigate the healthcare system and how best to support their healthcare goals.  The skills I learned helped me facilitate important conversations within my own family, and to help my own parents when they needed someone to advocate on their behalf.  I highly recommend this training!"                                                                                                                                  Sima M.
