Solve Problems & Plan Solutions
The medical system is becoming increasingly complex and not very user friendly. Often you are also emotionally rocked, making it even more difficult to help yourself or a loved one. Whether it is a small medical need or a medical crisis, a nurse advocate is invaluable. Amy DuBois, RN, BCPA, helps Tucson and Southern Arizona families step back from the confusion, understand what is actually happening medically, and decide what to do next.
What this includes
- Are you trying to care for your aging parent from a long distance?
- Are you feeling overwhelmed and need guidance to understand the health issues?
- Do you leave the doctor's office feeling uncertain of what was said to you?
- Do you need assistance in exploring the options your care team presented?

- 1
Understand the situation
Amy listens first. She reviews the diagnosis, the records, and what the care team has told you, then explains it in plain language.
- 2
Map the options
Together you work through the options your care team presented, what each one actually involves, and the questions still worth asking.
- 3
Build the plan
You leave with a written plan: what happens next, who is responsible for what, and how to reach Amy when something changes.
Common questions
- I live out of state and my parent is in Tucson. Can you help?
- Yes — long-distance caregiving is one of the most common reasons families call. Amy attends appointments in person in Tucson and Southern Arizona, then sends you a written summary and follows up with a call, so you know what happened without having to fly in.
- We are not in a crisis. Is it too early to call an advocate?
- No. Planning before a crisis is easier, cheaper and far less frightening than reacting during one. Many families start with a single planning conversation and call again only when something changes.
- Will you tell us what decision to make?
- No. Amy is a nurse advocate, not a decision-maker. Her role is to make sure you understand the medical picture and your options clearly enough to make your own decision, and that your decision is then heard by the care team.
