PACE & Your Healthcare BFF

PACE & Your Healthcare BFF I'm Tiffany Matthews, Your Healthcare BFF! Women will feel valued and empowered in your care & treatment. I'm Tiffany Matthews, founder & CEO of PACE. WHAT IS P4?

I empower family caregivers to navigate healthcare and its related systems, improve care for the care recipient and manage caregiving responsibilities related to those areas. My Gram’s healthcare and my Mom's caregiving situation is the inspiration for PACE - Patient Advocacy At PACE, women affected by chronic illness are transformed into a Powerful Patient Partner that confidently manages the car

e for yourself and your loved ones. I am a board certified patient advocate, consultant and educator. I'm also a former social worker & healthcare insider. I am a patient and a parent of a child with chronic illness. P4 teaches women to be in charge of their own care through increased health literacy, patient advocacy methods and learning to advocate for themselves and their loved ones in the system. PACE is a patient advocacy firm in the Greater Philadelphia region and serves clients virtually throughout the United States. Patient advocacy is the practice of championing the cause for a patient's wants and needs during their healthcare journey. The patient is first. Our broken system gives rise to the need of the patient advocate. Patients can confidently manage their healthcare if they learn the skills and the mindset & behavior changes they need to know. You can get that here at PACE. Healthcare is a business - we are customers. P4 empowers women with the skills that can change, even save, their lives. PACE'S Powerful Patient Partner Program™ includes:
• Advance directives/healthcare proxies
• Advocating for the best treatment
• Caregiving & Advocacy
• Care coordination
• Communicating with healthcare providers
• Managing hospital stays
• Making the most of appointments
• Handling a difficult diagnosis

• Building Confidence & A New Mindset

• Building & Maintaining a Healthcare Team

My family had been pressured for quick decisions about her life-or-death to keep with the "profits over patients” principle our healthcare system embraces. My family was bombarded with information and pressured to make serious life-or-death decisions quickly - when what we wanted to do focus on Gram. High-pressure decisions, overwhelm with information - that is the business of healthcare. Sadly, we have a payer system that supports "profits before patients." PACE has products & services for businesses/50+ communities/groups:
• Advocacy Services
• Caregiver Support
• Care Planning
• Coaching (Small Groups)

• Consulting w/ businesses, a value-add for benefits or a health & wellness campaign

Hi Everyone! What are you doing on October 29th at 7PM EST?

Suppose you are someone who helps to care for a sick, disabled or senior loved one at home and you want to get the best healthcare possible for them. In that case, you’ll join me, Your Healthcare BFF, for my webinar, “4 Unexpected Ways to Be a Stronger Caregiver While Getting Healthcare” during the 2024 PACE Fall Festival!

Every day, millions of caregivers – whether a spouse/partner, child/grandchild, friend or neighbor, try to get the best healthcare possible for those they love & care for. And every day, many fail at doing that.

But, in my humble opinion, it’s NOT the caregiver’s fault!

My goal is to educate and empower all family caregivers in the cornerstones of caregiving - healthcare and patient care. If it wasn't for someone suffering from a chronic disease (a condition that lasts more than one year), there would be no need for family caregivers to perform patient care to the tune of $600 BILLION dollars every single year.

The mission is to help family caregivers navigate healthcare and its related systems (like social services, home health care, long-term care, senior care and health insurance), improve patient care and manage other caregiving responsibilities related to these areas.

PACE's Fall Festival will be with me, Tiffany. I'm the founder & CEO of PACE - Patient Advocacy & Caregiver Empowerment. You can call me Your Healthcare BFF! I advocate for caregivers and care recipients (who is usually the patient).

As a former social worker in healthcare, I have seen and worked with so many family caregivers; they need help & support. My goal is to help with the cornerstones of caregiving - healthcare and patient care. And the healthcare system barely listens to them, but their job is to provide the best patient care...

HOW CAN YOU PROVIDE THE BEST PATIENT CARE IF YOU DO NOT INVOLVE THAT PATIENT'S CAREGIVER? Caregivers have extremely important information about the care recipient/patient and how they care for them!

It’s difficult because our healthcare system is complex and disjointed. And studies show that healthcare providers overwhelmingly do not include family caregivers in providing patient care.

That is a gap in healthcare we must close if the best care is to truly be provided to patients.

Having been a social worker in healthcare, I saw all kinds of people try to handle the challenges of healthcare and caregiving. It could get ugly at times.

And many don’t know what to do or how to begin or what to look up where…

I asked myself how many others need the kind of help I gave my family? Caregivers can use these skills to advocate for the best healthcare not only for their loved ones, but for themselves. Caregiving puts people at higher risk for physical, mental and emotional issues.

I have dedicated my career to helping caregivers and the patients they love and care for.

I help caregivers become the Powerful Patient Partners® they can and must be while getting healthcare. I teach skills that last a lifetime through an online course suite I created called The Powerful Patient Partner® Program!

The Fall Festival is the launch of my program, and I am so excited to bring it to family caregivers. I hope you'll join me on October 29th at 7PM EST for the launch!

Is it bad when your doctor of 14 years seriously asks if someone like Mike Tyson hit you in the eyes and you respond "No, it's sinuses, sir, because I would be under the jail."

He was ready to call 12! I am crineeeeee! I love my doc!

A better relationship with your doctor leads to better outcomes for YOUR HEALTH.

What do you think it would take for people to want to prepare for our healthcare journey?

Many wait until the inevitable crisis to learn how to handle it when they can be prepared for their healthcare interactions.

Why do you think people wait until the crisis vs. preparing for what's inevitable? 🤔
