Patient Advocacy

Patient Advocacy provides patients and families with a central department in which to register complaints or concerns. When you arrive for your first appointment, you will meet your patient advocate. He or she will give you their card and a brief description of the services we offer. Since your satisfaction is important to us, feel free to contact your patient advocate at any time with problems or concerns.

Advocates are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
