Our Services
Adult Patient Advocacy Services
“Stepping forward to advocate for you and your loved ones for better outcomes.”
We are a community-based service dedicated to providing patient advocacy services to patients and their families. We are “your family support” when you live far from your loved one and cannot be there to advocate for them, or you live alone.
We help patients and families navigate the complicated maze that is health care today.
Our services are tailored to you and/or your loved one’s individual needs. Virtual services may be available.
Pediatric Advocacy Services
"Helping every child move towards their brightest future."
At Stepping Stone Advocacy Services, we understand that caring for a child with healthcare needs brings unique challenges and emotions. Our Pediatric Advocacy Services are designed to support families through every stage of care — from diagnosis to treatment, school accommodations, insurance navigation, and beyond.
Why Choose a Dedicated Pediatric Advocate?
Children are not just small adults — they require an advocate who understands their developmental needs, legal protections, and the delicate balance between medical best practices and family values. Our experienced pediatric advocate walks beside you, ensuring your child’s voice is heard, your rights are protected, and your family is supported every step of the way.
Every child deserves a champion.
Let Stepping Stone Advocacy Services be yours.
