AdventHealth Care Advocacy

Care Advocacy

Our Care Advocacy service was created after asking a simple question: How can we make health care easier? Since this unique service launched, Care Advocacy has positively influenced our patients’ care experience and quality of life, helping more people feel whole.

AdventHealth Care Advocates are your trusted partners in health care, bringing our mission of Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ to life in the digital space. Available at no cost to you, our digital chat service is offered in English and Spanish and supported by expert team members who provide empathetic care to every patient, no matter the need. Care Advocates are here to answer your questions, assist with medication refills, help you schedule appointments and more as you navigate your unique health journey.
