Your loved one has several doctors—but who is connecting the dots?
A hospital discharge can leave families with medications, follow-up appointments, unfamiliar equipment—and questions they don’t know who to ask.
Who is coordinating everything? Who explains what the doctors said? And who helps when a loved one’s care becomes more than the family can manage?
Jodi O’Malley, MSN, RN, welcomes Christina Montanarella, RN, founder of Arizona Care Concierge, for a candid conversation about patient advocacy, private nursing, and helping families navigate complicated healthcare situations.
Drawing on their nursing experience, Jodi and Christina discuss:
• What concierge nursing looks like at home, in the hospital, and during medical appointments.
• Why families need help connecting the dots between specialists and follow-up care.
• Support across life stages, from newborn care to recovery and end-of-life needs.
• The emotional weight of becoming a loved one’s caregiver.
• Why some nurses are building businesses around the care they want to provide.
Jodi also shares a patient experience that illustrates how overwhelming care becomes when nobody is clearly coordinating the next step.
Christina’s goal is personal: help families understand what is happening so they can spend more time being family.
