Woman comforting man during grieving process
By Terri Harris 26 Mar, 2023
Putting a plan in place provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones. It’s a gesture that expresses your wishes and values. It guides your family and loved ones during a time that will be overwhelming for them. If you cannot speak for yourself, everyone will know your wishes and how to carry them out. You’ll rest easier knowing everything is in place as you’ve planned.

Larimar Patient Advocates begin with a thorough patient assessment to glean relevant information such as medical history, medications, and symptoms as well as patients’ concerns and questions about their conditions.
