About Sarah Jane:
Sarah Jane Yang is a Masters prepared Registered Nurse and Healthcare Advocate.
Her time at major urban academic medical centers such as Harborview in Seattle and Weil-Cornell Medical Center in New York City, shaped her early career with rich learning environments, and her intensive care specialization gave her advanced training in cardiothoracic resuscitation and neurological emergencies.

What is a Healthcare Advocate?
Healthcare Advocacy is a burgeoning field that requires compassion, tenacity, and accountability. Businesses and individuals all over the United States have begun to seek out highly skilled health advocates to creatively solve individual and system level issues for patients and organizations.
As an expert consultant, a Healthcare Advocate will help guide the care of individuals and populations to make healthcare goals become a reality. The benefit of having your own Healthcare Advocate is that an Advocate will continue working with you and your company until resolution is found for your healthcare related challenges.
