Patient Advocate For You | Healthcare Simplified
Company History: Patient Advocate For You (PAFY) was founded in 2008 by a registered nurse Sharon Gauthier. Sharon went to nursing school late in life with a grown family and a sick husband. With the knowledge of a spouse who was living through the maze of the healthcare system and experiencing first hand, even as a clinical professional, the confusion of caring and lack of communication; she decided to start a company that would support not only the patient but the family and the system itself. “First entering the healthcare system with what was virtually unheard of at the time; as an independent patient advocate; was nothing but challenging. After many years of working with and collaborating with providers and institutions there now is a better understanding of why everyone needs a patient advocate.
”As the healthcare system has evolved into a business and continues to have challenges in continuity; the need for someone to be a cheerleader for the patient who enters in the healthcare system becomes more and more important.”
