Welcome to Healthcare Navigators, we are so glad you’re here!

My name is Emily. I am a Registered Nurse specializing in critical care and connective tissue disorders.

As a former professional dancer, who suffered several injuries, I’m keenly aware of the difficulties in navigating the healthcare system. Finding a provider that takes the time to listen to not only your chief complaint but also your goals, is more difficult than it should be. Upon retirement from dancing, I decided to pursue a pilates certification. This lead me to a wonderful hypermobility specialty clinic. This is where i found my stride and love for direct patient care and coordination. I saw a need for helping patients navigate all aspects of their care, from scheduling specialists appointments, to understanding provider notes and recommendations, to insurance research, and follow-up follow through. I knew I needed more medical knowledge to be more helpful and decided to purse a nursing degree.

I graduated from Notre Dame of Maryland University with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing. The education I gained has helped me to see the holes in the system and find ways to fill them. Our healcare system is incredibly complex and difficult to navigate, thats where we come in. We are building a team to help develp systems for patients to stay organized and make the most out of their specialist visits. Many of our clients have multiple complex comorbidities which means multiple specialits and multiple recommendations.

We are here for you. We want to hear your story, your goals, and where you think we can be the most useful in helping you live the life you want.
