Patient Advocacy

We are committed to giving high quality, compassionate care to our patients. Our goal is to meet and exceed the expectations of our patients and their families. Patient advocates are here to help you voice your concerns, compliments or suggestions. At your request, your patient advocate can:

  • Serve as a link to communicate with physicians or staff.
  • Help you access information.
  • Look into your concerns and questions.
  • Allow your comments to help make IU Health the best it can be.

Your patient advocate always respects your right to privacy and will maintain your confidentiality.

Please contact us if:

  • Our colleagues provided great service, and you want to be sure they know it.
  • You have a suggestion about how we can better serve you or other patients.
  • Something happened at your hospital that did not meet your expectations.
  • You have concerns or questions regarding patient rights or responsibilities.
