Melissa Snyder | Patient Advocate

As the mother of young adults, I am a long-term personal and professional patient advocate; a lifetime ‘mom on a mission.’ I was my children’s advocate long before I became a professional patient advocate. I have been advocating for 20 years between my children and my chosen profession.

For nearly a decade, I was the patient advocate for one of the most important people in my life: my oldest son. As a young child, he was diagnosed with failure to thrive, Chari 1 Malformation, IGF-1 deficiency and Klinefelter’s Syndrome. Later, he was diagnosed with impulse control disorder, anxiety and moderate depressive disorder.

To overcome these issues, and through non-stop advocacy, my son started receiving injections of the IGF-1 hormone to help stimulate his body to start producing the hormone on its own. His treatments went on over the course of 11 years. He is no longer on IV/IM medication.

My youngest son was diagnosed with high-functioning autism in 2012. This came with its own set of challenges. To help him progress through the healthcare system and gain access to vital, hard-to-get services and support, I leveraged my years of experience in being not only a mom and having a medical background, but being my oldest son’s tireless patient advocate.

I specialize in pediatrics of all diagnoses, hereditary angioedema (HAE), Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (Alpha-1), multiple sclerosis (MS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) patients. My background also includes medical coding, medical records directorship, general patient advocacy and medical billing, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and profit and loss.

My goal as an advocate is to provide a listening ear, a trusting relationship with my patients and offer empathy and encouragement. I want my patients to know you do not have to worry about anything related to your therapy, and that you are never alone. From start to finish, I am here for you through the process and your journey.

Jaclyn Joyce | Patient Advocate

When it comes to supporting specialty pharmacy patients, I leave no stone unturned to get answers to any and all questions about your infusion therapy experience. For more than a decade, I have been dedicated to digging into the details of healthcare. How to access specialty medications, how to afford them, and how to get the most out of life while on therapy.

As a patient, you can count on getting experience, expertise and empathy from me. For years, I’ve managed specialty medication pharmacy services — including complex processes, procedures and paperwork. As an advocate, I have provided onboarding, case management and educational support to patients.

Through my background in pharmacy business and patient advocacy, you get support, comfort and peace of mind all through your healthcare journey. I guide you past your worries to a place where you can focus on the most important thing: getting the most out of your infusion therapy.
