BEST OF HEALTH The Bridge RN Patient Advocates with Melissa Cardine

The Bridge RN Patient Advocates was created to help patients, their families and caregivers navigate the complex healthcare system with ease. We provide individualized consultation, education, resources, and support to help our clients as we bridge the gaps from diagnosis to healing through personalized and holistic assessment, goal-setting, planning and advocacy. Our goal is for our clients to feel empowered and in control of managing their health and ultimately become their own advocate. We begin by creating a comprehensive timeline of your medical history, reviewing all your medications and supplements, attending appointments, facilitating communication with pharmacists, providers, insurance companies and family members on your behalf, providing resources for decision-making, and doing anything necessary to support your success. The Bridge RN Patient Advocates provides in person service to the following areas: Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Tempe, Ahwatukee, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, and Phoenix. We also provide consultations and services via phone and video conferencing.

Melissa Cardine has been a nurse for over 20 years. She received her Bachelor of Nursing in 1997 and Masters in Nursing in 2002. Her passion is listening to patients, families and care givers and building relationships with every member of the medical team. She has done that at every turn in a nursing career that spans from complex home health care services and hospital nursing to opening a nationally recognized outpatient treatment center. During her Master’s program, she developed a Geriatric Care Management program in which she envisioned helping the elderly and their families navigate the health care system. She imagined empowering people to be their own or their loved one’s best advocate. Instead of pursuing that immediately, she continued her nursing career and built a family. Melissa has experienced much personal and professional growth over the last decade, but her passion for listening to patients is still the same as the first day she became a nurse.

In October 2015, that passion turned into action. She enrolled in the Independent RN Patient Advocate program through the University of Arizona and started The Bridge RN Patient Advocates. She believed that is was time to share with others how they too can manage their own health. It was time to listen and educate clients on how to ask questions, understand their options, research alternatives, look at the big picture, and discover the root cause of their ailments whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Melissa has displayed that patient-centered devotion for the past three years as the owner of The Bridge RN Patient Advocates. Melissa’s enthusiasm and energy for health advocacy is obvious in everything she does and is a benefit to everyone she meets.

WHY BEST OF HEALTH?

I am a Physician Assistant who has been caring for patients for over 20 years and Family Practice (cradle to grave) is my specialty.

Following the footsteps of three generations of family practice physicians (my father, grandfather and great grandfather) this was a natural and genetic calling that I do not regret.

Given this, I have a unique perspective and it’s time to share that perspective through Ask the PA. As a health care provider, teacher, business owner, patient, and advocate for my family and friends throughout the years, it has been painfully apparent there are disconnects within the current state of health care in the US and throughout the world. It can be confusing and frankly very scary.

It is my goal though this series, Best of Health, to bring people together that are passionate about their roles in the business of health care… and yes, whether or not you want to hear that it’s a business, it is — and that’s the fact. I will introduce to you great, dedicated practitioners and people with a passion for getting the word out about their personal journeys and causes. I will provide information about navigating through a confusing system, asking the right questions and share ways for saving money and time along the way.

It’s time to create change by partnering, empowering, and focusing on the patient, their families and their providers of care. It’s time for you to take the driver’s seat rather than leave your health care solely in the hands of entities such as insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry.

Stay tuned. Here’s to your Best of Health.

Her Certified with Cathy Droz and Superstition Springs Lexus with Denise Erickson and Publicist Lauren Rosenberg

The program, HER Certified® — which stands for Honesty, Excellence and Respect — is designed to train auto dealers on what women want in a car buying and service experience from how they should be treated from the minute they drive up to the dealership, to the first handshake and all the way to the service and parts department. Droz consults with dealerships that are interested in attracting female customers by acknowledging how men and women think differently and, consequently, buy differently. According to Droz, women expect more than just the amenities like WIFI, a car wash and a cup of coffee, they ultimately want to be treated with respect.
The idea for the certification program came after she published “A Women’s Guide to Buying a Car with Confidence and Street Smarts – Don’t Let These High Heels Fool You,” which served to give women self-confidence and knowledge in the car-buying experience. The book opens with the buying power of women followed by her story and if she owned a dealership. The book educates women on what is and isn’t acceptable from a car buying experience.

Cathy Droz is an accomplished automotive journalist, author, speaker and radio host with a passion for the automobile industry. A native of New York, she was just 17 when she purchased the family sedan, which evolved into a 40-year career including opening a full-service automotive advertising agency, and, most recently, publishing her first book, “A Woman’s Guide to Buying a Car with Confidence and Street Smarts – Don’t Let These High Heels Fool You.” Highly respected by industry influencers, Cathy has test driven more than 500 vehicles, giving her insight and knowledge on virtually every make and model on the market to effectively educate the car buying consumer and make the search for the perfect automobile a pleasant and rewarding experience.

Cathy is currently Founder and CEO of HER Certified® — which stands for Honesty, Excellence and Respect — the industry’s first comprehensive certified dealer program aimed to help dealerships better serve female car buyers. The full-service “trifecta” employee training is designed to ensure the dealership not only meets, but exceeds, a woman’s expectations when buying or servicing a car. To be a part of the program, qualified dealerships who meet the criteria pay a fee and then receive items and services such as sales training for up to 100 employees that focuses on how to handle sales with female customers. Additionally, employees take the sales training online and must pass with 85 percent or higher. The sales training includes downloads of a workbook and her book for each employee taking the course.

A champion of community service and leadership, Cathy is a member of the Phoenix Automotive Press Association, a past President and Executive Board Member for Silent Witness, a distinguished member of Worldwide Who’s Who of Entrepreneurs, a 2016 Phoenix Suns Amazing Women award winner, the 2018 Honoree for Outstanding Women in Business, a volunteer for the Retired NFL AZ Legends, St. Vincent DePaul, and Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock charity, and donates 4% of all sales to the Girls Scouts of America to help promote financial literacy in young girls.

Boys to Men is men and women who believe every boy deserves a chance to succeed. They take a stand for the next generation of boys, supporting them as they move toward manhood. As a 90% volunteer organization, they train men to create a safe place where boys 13- 17 can be authentic and discover their truth. Boys to Men is a 501c3 affiliated with Boys to Men USA. The work began in San Diego 22 years ago and continues to follow the tradition that it is the community’s adults who are responsible for guiding the next generation. To get results, they work with a group of boys for 1 hour a week, during the school day, beginning in 7th grade and following them into High School.

They combine a proven group mentoring model with a goal-oriented, boy-focused motivational interviewing process that allows boys to discover their inner resources and to develop emotional intelligence. Men support the boys as they face the obstacles that stand in the way of becoming good men. They will challenge the boys stories, attitudes and choices, while guiding them in learning integrity, accountability and compassion. Mentors model healthy masculinity, without fixing or rescuing the boys. They shine a light on what’s true about each boy, inviting him to step into being the man he knows he can become. Trained mentors listen, accept and encourage the boys as they step into positive change that will serve them during this challenging stage of development.
