Are you or a loved one preparing for surgery and feeling overwhelmed? You're not alone! In this episode of Heart of the Hustle, I sit down with Sara Lemert, founder of Platinum Patient Advocates, to explore why having a patient advocate can make all the difference in navigating the complex medical system. Sara shares her journey from working as a cardiac surgery physician assistant to becoming a champion for patients and their families.
We dive into:
✅ What a patient advocate does (and why you need one).
✅ How they help you understand your surgery, recovery, and the healthcare maze.
✅ Practical tips for surgery prep, recovery, and staying informed.
✅ Sara's FREE cardiac surgery guide and checklist (a must-have resource!).
You don’t have to face the medical world alone—this conversation is packed with actionable insights to empower and prepare you for any medical journey.
