Are you passionate about patient advocacy? Do you find yourself helping others navigate the healthcare system, but can’t imagine charging or being a business owner? My guest, Dr. Nicole Rochester thought she would always be employed as a pediatrician but all that changed when she needed to advocate for her father during a health crisis. Fast forward to today, Dr. Rochester has her own business helping patients and their families navigate the healthcare system and get the best care possible. Dr. Rochester returns to the podcast to discuss how she conquered her fears to start her patient navigation business, Your GPS Doc, and how you can do this too even if you never dreamed of running your own company.

In this episode we’re talking about:

  • Dr. Rochester’s journey from employee to successful entrepreneur
  • When you love your current role, but feel called to something new
  • Mindset challenges that may hold us back
  • How the greatest growth happens through making mistakes
  • What professional health advocacy entails 
  • Important details such as insurance, compensation, and scheduling
  • Dr. Rochester’s program to help you start your own patient navigation business

"Heather’s approach was great! She would listen to me and helped me appreciate who I am."

I remember when she said ‘do your resume before our next meeting’, I was about to push back but she gently nudged me along and I’m glad I did exactly what she wanted me to do. We also did interview prep via Zoom and I was offered a great job in UM. She has continued to follow up even after I was offered this job, helping me with pointers about negotiating. I will totally recommend the Doctors Crossing and Heather to anyone feeling stuck like me and looking for a great coach! Thank you Heather!
