Health Care Advocate
A new profession is being born to help people navigate the health care maze.
Private health care advocacy is a new and growing field emerging at a time when an increasing number of Americans find themselves dealing with a chronic disease, aging family members or the bureaucracy of health insurance.
--
Sarah Lawrence College in New York in 1980 established the first - and still the only - master's degree program in health advocacy and caters to all forms of the practice. Other universities have credentialing programs, but requirements vary. Still, no state has an official licensing process.
