Health Advocates LLC · 20+ Years of Healthcare Experience
You shouldn't have to face an appointment alone.
Because how well you're doing matters.

How I Help
What families ask for most
Healthcare gets confusing fast, especially when you're worried about someone you love. Here's where I usually come in.
Can't make it to your loved one's appointment?
I'll go with them.
I sit in, take notes, ask the questions you'd ask if you were there, and call you afterward with everything you need to know.
Confused about what the doctor's saying?
I'll be in the room with you.
Medical language is its own dialect. I translate it in real time, so you leave the appointment actually understanding your own care.
Don't feel like your provider is listening to you?
I'll make sure you're heard.
I'll help you say what matters in a way your provider can't brush past, and if you need someone in the room saying it with you, I'll be there until you get real answers, not just a rushed nod toward the door.
Who I Support
If this sounds like you, I'd love to help
Whatever you're walking through, I'm here to help you understand it, ask the right questions, and feel less alone in it. A few of the situations I most often step in for:
- Chronic conditions
- Cancer care & treatment
- Perimenopause & menopause
- Caregivers of aging parents
- New parents & postpartum
- Mental health appointments
- Recovery after surgery or a hospital stay
- Confusing or unclear diagnoses
- Medicare, specialists & prior authorizations

Velvet Howell · Concierge Patient & Family Health Advocate
20+ years inside the system, now working for you.
After two decades in healthcare operations, provider relations, and patient services, plus a background in health and wellness, I kept seeing the same thing: good people getting lost in their own care. I started HowWell to be the person in your corner who knows how the system works and isn't afraid to ask the hard questions on your behalf.
My background also runs through claims, prior authorizations, and provider operations, so when a claim stalls, an authorization gets stuck, or you can't get a straight answer about what's covered, I know exactly where the holdup usually is and how to push it through.
Not a licensed medical provider. Advocacy & support services only.
