Our Story
About Our Team
My Path to Healthcare Management Services
Tara Bailey, MPA, CMC, BCPA, CSA®, CDP, SHSS
Founder & CEO, Brevard Healthcare Navigation
My own feelings of fear and confusion while caring for my mother-in-law put me on a path to helping others who were at a loss while navigating the complex healthcare delivery and support services. I have been working in healthcare support services since 2007 and understand how to manage senior and disabled persons' care needs.
Over the years I have taken opportunities to become certified in multiple areas, including: Care Manager Certified (CMC); Board Certified Patient Advocate (BCPA); Certified Senior Advisor (CSA®); Certified Dementia Practitioner and a Certified Montreal Cognitive Assessment provider (MoCA); and Senior Home Safety Specialist® (SHSS).
I have served on two national boards of directors, one state board of directors, and two local boards of directors in an effort to ensure that the needs of seniors, disabled adults, and children receive the representation and voice they need in multiple healthcare systems and arenas.
Whether you are preparing for your future needs, or are the adult child of a loved one in a healthcare crisis, you need to know what your options are. We are here to help you with Healthcare Navigation Management.
