Brandi Hornick, BCPA is a Board Certified Patient Advocate who will assist you in the guidance to make well-informed decisions about your healthcare needs. Brandi has 24 years of experience in advocating for patients in different medical care experiences. Her first experience began when her child became very sick and doctors kept sending her child home, hospital after hospital missed the diagnosis. She realized if she didn’t advocate for her child, she may lose her. She spent months advocating for her 2-year-old daughter until she received answers. The answer was not what she was prepared for as the doctors told her that her 2-year-old little girl had a rare form of cancer. She knew she had to continue to advocate for her to survive and she did. Her second child was born with a genetic condition and she continued to advocate until she found answers for her. It took over 40 doctors and 10 years before her second child was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition, but she would not stop until she had answers. She will guide you with compassion and understanding as she equips you with the knowledge to be confident in all of your decisions as you navigate yours or your family’s medical needs.
