What is a patient support partner?

Patient Support Partners are healthcare professionals or trained volunteers who assist patients and their families throughout the healthcare journey. Their main role is to provide emotional support, help communicate with medical staff, answer questions about care, and advocate for the patient's needs. They often help patients navigate the healthcare system, offer companionship, and ensure that patients understand their treatment plans. By serving as a bridge between patients and healthcare providers, they contribute to better patient experiences and outcomes.
