As 2025 comes to a close, I want to pause and say "Thank you," truly. Your trust, your referrals, your quiet confidence in our work at Fides Health Advocates mean more than words can capture.

This year, we stood beside clients at some of their most pivotal moments:
– Executives navigating complex diagnoses while protecting their time, privacy, and peace of mind.
– Families who needed clarity, not chaos, when healthcare felt overwhelming.
– Women advocating for themselves after years of being unheard.
– Patients who didn’t just want treatment, but strategy, excellence, and outcomes.

Beyond individual care, we showed up in communities, health fairs, faith-based spaces, and underserved settings... bridging gaps, elevating health literacy, and ensuring that advocacy wasn’t a luxury, but a standard. The impact wasn’t just measured in appointments or referrals, but in confidence restored, delays avoided, and lives redirected toward better outcomes.

Fides was built for people who expect more from healthcare, and in 2025, together, we delivered more: more intention, more precision, more results.

As we step into 2026, our vision is even clearer. We look forward to helping you win more in health and well-being, with proactive advocacy, personalized strategy, and care that honors your goals, lifestyle, and legacy.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. The best is still ahead.

Everyone wants “optimal health”… but too many are in a hurry to get there.
In reality, elevated wellness isn’t achieved in a day, a detox, or a trend. It’s a curated lifestyle built with intention, discipline, and expert guidance.

At the highest levels, optimal health is not a sprint. It’s a strategic investment in your mind, body, and longevity. The wealthy don’t rush excellence; they cultivate it.

Don’t be fooled by quick fixes. Choose the path of precision, patience, and premium care.
Your health deserves nothing less than a bespoke journey.

Avoid these mistakes during your cancer journey!

Cancer Care Navigation is NOT an easy task, but Fides help soften the blow of a difficult journey. We care about your time, health, and peace.... we are here for YOU!

Here are some mistakes to avoid and how Fides can help. 😊

■ Mistakes:

◇Waiting too long to seek a second opinion (when necessary).

◇Not fully understanding treatment side effects before starting.

◇Missing follow-up appointments or scans.

◇Relying only on internet searches for education.

◇Not involving family/caregivers in care decisions.

■ How Fides Helps:

◇We arrange timely second opinions.

◇Break down treatment options in plain language.

◇Track appointments/scans and ensure nothing is missed.
◇Provide evidence-based education and resources.

◇Encourage inclusive, family-centered advocacy.

You Deserve More Than “Just Go Home and Wait” 💙

The other day, we accompanied a client to the emergency room, a gentleman in his 70s who hadn’t been able to urinate for 10 hours. He was in significant pain, and his caregiver, also in her late 60s, was anxious and exhausted. A Foley catheter was placed, urine drained, and after six long hours, the provider returned, reviewed his labs, and said, “Follow up with your urologist.”

On paper, that might sound fine. But anyone who’s worked in healthcare knows something is missing here.

At Fides Health Advocates, we stepped in kindly, respectfully, but firmly:
■ We requested that he not be discharged until a follow-up appointment was actually scheduled... soon.
■ We asked the ED provider to call the urologist directly so they’d have a verbal report and be prepared for his arrival.
■ We insisted on proper Foley care education with teach-back because a catheter in the elderly can quickly become a serious problem if not managed well.
■ We requested a care plan for the interim, so our client wasn’t just “sitting at home with a Foley, waiting.”

We weren’t rude or combative, just collaborative. Providers are busy and can miss important details. Two heads really are better than one. A thoughtful provider always appreciates when a patient’s advocate steps in to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

This is what advocacy looks like: Seeing what’s missing, speaking up with compassion, and centering the patient... always!

We’re forever grateful for the chance to serve, support, and empower our community. Because our clients, and yours, deserve nothing less. 💙

One Step at a Time, You’ll Get There

Some days, being a mom, entrepreneur, healthcare provider, and advocate feels like I’m juggling a thousand pieces of my heart at once. I deeply cherish time with my family, both immediate and extended, because they are my grounding force.

Coming from a family with high standards, I’ve always felt the weight of expectations. But instead of letting those standards box me in, I’ve chosen to use them as fuel to show my mentees (including my children) that the world’s limitations don’t have to be theirs. They can dream differently, set their own standards, and build their own community.

Spirituality has been my compass through every twist and turn. Life can get dark quickly, and even the strongest of us can feel lost. Social media can make it seem like everyone else has it all together, but that’s just a snapshot, not the full story.

So, here’s our gentle reminder to you (and to ourselves):

One step at a time. You’ll get there!

Your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. It’s yours... beautiful, messy, sacred, and still unfolding.

Wishing you a wonderful Friday filled with grace and hope. 💛
