Patient Advocate Ministry

Navigating the U.S. health system can be a daunting task, but the Patient Advocate Ministry (PAM) is here to help. Many patients would like spiritual issues to be part of their overall health care.  PAM offers a faith-based nurse navigator to guide patients through a variety of issues to ensure meeting the patient's wishes and desires. PAM is available to all senior citizens in Williamson and neighboring counties regardless of church affiliation. Click for more info  Upcoming Workshop: Medicare Choices - What options do I have?
