Patient Navigator, a company that takes individual clients through the healthcare maze. From the website: The company’s founder, Elisabeth Schuler Russell, launched Patient Navigator LLC in October 2004 after navigating her 2-year old daughter’s journey through an inoperable brainstem tumor. Elisabeth experienced first-hand how difficult and frightening it is for a family under stress to navigate the complexities of the American health care system.   When her daughter recovered, Elisabeth committed herself to a new career using what she had learned as a patient advocate to help and teach others. This is a fee-for-service site.

AdvoConnection is a site that connects patients and family members with healthcare advocates. The site offers free matching with advocates as well as free connections to consumer and citizen groups.
