About JBS Health Advocacy and Founder Jamie Spungin
My interest in becoming a Certified Healthcare Advocate began when I experienced a health crisis with a close family member approximately three years ago. Witnessing a loved one go through healthcare challenges can feel extremely overwhelming. It was clear that my family member needed a voice and someone to take charge of all her health related needs. I was able to take a situation that was physically, emotionally and psychologically challenging, and make it significantly less stressful for my loved one, my family and myself. During that time, I became aware that I was “advocating” for my own family member to receive the best care available. My 10 years of experience in the medical field as a Dietitian helped me to take on that role with great comfort and ease.
I also realized during this time, and in talking to others, that there seemed to be an unfilled need in Palm Beach County for private, health advocacy services. In fact, most people don’t even know such a profession exists!!! I sensed that many individuals and families are feeling overwhelmed, and are facing significant challenges with their own healthcare management.
In February 2015, I enrolled in the Alfus Healthcare Advocacy program at the University of Miami and received a certificate in Healthcare Advocacy. I founded JBS Health Advocacy to provide high quality personalized healthcare management services to individuals, busy adult children and long distance caregivers.
As a result, I am able to utilize my skills, knowledge, experience and passion to help ease the burden of others who are facing situations similar to the one I experienced three years ago. No matter what healthcare challenges my clients may be facing, whether for themselves or a loved one, my goal is to bring them competent and professional assistance, relief from stress, and, perhaps most importantly, peace of mind.
