In my Care Management practice over the years, every relationship with a client starts with a face to face meeting. This connection and daily routine is as important to my clients’ well-being and stability as any medication that a physician prescribes. With the world pandemic of Covid-19, I’ve had to adapt my practice to keep everyone safe, while not losing that personal connection.

In our effort to ensure that you and your loved ones are fully prepared for any illness, it is critically important that you have on hand now - not in your lawyers office or buried in a file cabinet - all appropriate advanced directives. I know this is a sobering process but let's make sure you have everything you need available to you, if needed.
