Someone In Your
Corner, Always
Navigating hospitals, insurance, and discharge plans is overwhelming. Our patient advocates stand beside you — asking the right questions, protecting your rights, and making sure you get the care you deserve.
We Navigate the System
So You Don't Have To
From hospital discharge planning to insurance appeals, our advocates handle the complex, stressful parts of healthcare — so patients and families can focus on healing.
Discharge Planning Support
We attend discharge meetings, review care plans, and make sure patients fully understand what happens after they leave the hospital — including follow-up appointments, medications, and home care needs.
- Attend discharge conferences
- Review care transition plans

Patient Rights & Voice
When patients feel unheard or overwhelmed, our advocates speak up on their behalf — ensuring their rights are respected, their questions are answered, and their preferences are honored.

Language & Cultural Support
For patients with language barriers or cultural concerns, our advocates bridge the communication gap — ensuring nothing is lost in translation during critical medical conversations.

- Cultural sensitivity
- Multilingual resources
- Family communication support
Care Coordination
We connect patients with the right services — home care, transport, social services, and community resources — so their care continues seamlessly after leaving the facility.

Fighting for You
The healthcare system is complex, fast-moving, and often overwhelming — especially during a crisis. Our advocates are for anyone who feels lost, unheard, or unsure of what comes next.
Advocacy That Made
a Real Difference
These are real situations our advocates have helped navigate — names changed for privacy.
Margaret D., 78
Fordham, Bronx
Margaret was being discharged from Lincoln Medical after a fall with no clear plan for home support. Her family was overwhelmed and didn't know what questions to ask. Our advocate attended the discharge meeting, secured a home care referral, arranged medical transport, and ensured her follow-up appointments were scheduled before she left the building.
What Patients & Families Say
Real feedback from the Bronx community
“My father was being discharged with no plan and no one explaining anything to us. The patient advocate from Metro Care sat with us for two hours, explained everything, and made sure he had home care lined up before he left. I don't know what we would have done without her.”
“Having a patient advocate in the room changes everything. Patients ask better questions, understand their care plans, and follow through on discharge instructions. The outcomes are measurably better.”
“I was so confused about my insurance and the bills kept coming. My advocate helped me appeal a $12,000 denial and got it covered. She also found a program that helped with my copays. I had no idea these resources existed.”
“After my stroke I couldn't advocate for myself. My advocate attended every appointment, took notes, and made sure my care team was actually listening to my concerns. She was my voice when I didn't have one.”
