You shouldn't have to navigate the healthcare system alone.

Meet LIORA, a patient advocacy platform that supports women living with chronic conditions before, during, and after medical appointments.​​

We pair women with trained advocates who help her prepare for visits, navigate complex care, ask informed questions, and confidently understand next steps.

Complex conditions deserve more thoughtful care. 

LIORA advocates support you when:

  • You're struggling to get a diagnosis

  • You're unsure about a treatment plan

  • You're tired of being bounced around the system

  • You leave appointments feeling anxious, dismissed or confused

How LIORA Works

Before your appointment

Connect with your advocate* to map your health journey and plan key goals/questions for your upcoming appointment.

During your appointment

Your advocate joins you virtually to take notes and ask clarifying questions.

After your appointment

Debrief what was said, clarify next steps, and create a care plan that aligns with your goals and needs.

*

You'll be matched with an advocate based on your intake survey.

Our advocates include nurses, social workers, dietitians, physical therapists, psychologists, medical students, and trained peer supporters with lived experience.

LIORA is with you for the long haul.

Your advocate doesn't just show up for one appointment, they stay by your side throughout your care journey. 

Advocacy the human way.

Call us old-fashioned, but we believe the best care still comes from human connection. The healthcare system is stretched thin, and while clinicians are trying their best, time constraints and unreimbursed work can leave gaps in support.

 

At LIORA, the answer isn’t another automated tool. It’s women raising their hands to help other women. Every advocate is a real person, trained and ready to provide empathy, guidance, and understanding. 

Meet the Founders

Cousins Courtney and Amanda created LIORA out of shared frustration with feeling dismissed and defeated after too many medical visits.
 

Together, they're on a mission to build the support they wished they had and change women's healthcare experiences through patient-centered advocacy.
