For the average healthcare consumer, entering the U.S. healthcare system for a clinical need can be fraught with anxiety, fear and insecurity.  And that’s not even considering any insurance issues!  And post-COVID, being admitted to a hospital can be downright scary.  Hear about the work of Guardian Nurses and how their team of nurse advocates, in Seattle and nationally, are shepherding patients safely and effectively through their healthcare journeys.
