Meet a few PACE Members of
the Alliance of Professional Health Advocates
I've met so many people who have mistakes on their medical bills, and I know how to help them. What I don't know is how to run a business. APHA is helping me figure that out so I can turn it into my own business.
In the 11 years I helped my mother through her cancer diagnosis, I learned a lot about navigating the system. Now I want to determine if a career as an independent advocate is a good choice for me.
I spent 30 years as a nurse and now I want to earn some extra money in retirement as an advocate. Membership in APHA is a lifesaver. So many good resources. I will launch my new advocacy business soon.

PACE =
Patient Advocate Career Exploration
A PACE membership will help you determine what skills you need to establish a successful advocacy or care management practice, then get you started on learning them.
Do any of these describe you?
- Maybe you have assisted a friend or loved one, but do not have paid advocacy experience.
OR - You’re looking for a way to boost your advocacy resumé or gain more insight about this type of career.
OR - Perhaps you’ve been helping others for many years and now you want to figure out how to get paid for the help you provide in the future.
OR - You’ve worked in healthcare for many years, you’re thinking about retirement, but you want to stay active and keep helping patients…
If any of these sound like you, or if you are thinking about becoming a private, independent professional patient advocate but haven’t yet committed to the idea, then our PACE membership level is perfect for you. (Already committed? Check out our Premium Membership.)
There is no better investment in your career exploration!
A first year PACE Membership is $89
PACE renewal = $59 per six months
(Note: If you live and work outside the US or Canada, then our PACE International Membership will be of more interest to you. )
