The “general contractor” analogy is apt when it comes to the diverse needs of a family facing a medical crisis. Patient advocates can offer guidance, information necessary to make knowledgeable decisions, resources and appropriate oversight that helps a family build a plan that spans the medical care, in-home or inpatient care, assistance with activities of daily living and preparation for what lies ahead. 

In this webinar, Trish Laub will discuss why she believes the family must have a philosophy about their loved one’s condition, a goal and a strategy to meet that goal. She will also detail the organizational strategy that helped her family through the crisis. The desired outcome of this is to know that the patient’s wishes were respected and that the family can say that they did their absolute best for their loved one.

Program Objectives: Participants who attend this continuing education program will learn:

  1. Learn what’s involved in the ”general contractor” role of the patient advocate.

  2. Understand an organizational system and the "three-ring power tool" that will keep your clients from being overwhelmed.


I’m excited to be speaking with CareHeroes® about not only the transactional aspects of care but also the relational interaction that allowed my family to move from limitation and deficit to limitless possibilities and to keep my dad at home while providing the dignified care and end of life that he desired.


As part of a three person panel, it is a privilege to talk about how perspective and having a plan can impact the outcome of the CareHero® journey.

The Human Library® creates a safe space for dialog where topics, with the theme of “un-judge someone,” are discussed openly between human books and their readers.

Trish Laub shared her “Caregiver” story as one of 15 Human Books that were available for 20-minute checkout times; each book shared an aspect of their unique life experience through one-to-one conversation.
