“If you have a situation that needs quality, knowledgeable medical information these ladies are the ones to contact. They not only are available for our senior population, but also a great asset to anyone that has medical issues. I have worked primarily with Pam. If it were not for her, my daughter would not have received Social Security Disability benefits. We are forever grateful!”

The healthcare industry has become so complex it feels impossible to navigate. In Florida, where I lived for the last 11 years, I had compiled a list of doctors that I saw, either through friends' referrals or through my insurance.
Coming to Kansas with no idea who or even where to go was a nightmare for my family. I can't thank you enough for all the guidance you provided for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us navigate the system here.

“Navigating Medicare, helping our family figure out how to get a primary care provider, getting doctors to return phone calls, understanding doctor notes, figuring out who and how to get a care provider for in home care, being my mom's person, being our sounding board when trying to make difficult decisions, and ALWAYS putting mom and her care first!!!.”

“I would say this. please don’t wait. If you question any part of caring for a loved one, reach out to Pam. My mom went from a family vacation to her home to my sister’s home to the emergency room to weeks in the hospital in the blink of an eye. Out of state, no primary care provider, loss of basic skills including memory… leaves a ton on the table for family to figure out in the blink of an eye. Don’t do it alone!”
