How a Quality of Life Navigator Improves Patient Outcomes


Listen Later

DNP Elena Prendergast is empowering people with serious illness to find their voices, and advocate for their best quality of life.  Working with patients who are dealing with end of life issues showed her how much extra support is needed, even when there’s a healthcare team providing care.  Elena helps clients navigate the confusing maze of the US healthcare system.  She listens to what they think is important, and equips them with the tools to make their needs and wishes known.  Her education as a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner with extensive experience in palliative care, additional training in trauma/resilience, and the sacred work of an end-of-life doula provides a unique perspective of the needs of clients with serious-illness. 

If you’re a patient, a caregiver or loved one, or a long-distance caregiver, you can work with Elena at Tree of Life Health Consultant by visiting treeoflifehealthconsultant.com.   Connect with Elena Prendergast, DNP on social media:  Facebook     Instagram     LinkedIn
