The Christ Hospital Health Network is pleased to announce the launch of ezCare Concierge, a free service that helps take the guesswork out of navigating healthcare concerns.

“There are so many factors now involved in navigating healthcare, it can be stressful. From researching symptoms online, uncertainty on the type of care or physician to see, when it’s time for treatment, what it costs, where to go and on and on. It can be very stressful and often leads to people delaying or avoiding treatment altogether. We created ezCare Concierge to break this cycle and help guide people to the care they need.” – Michael Karram, MD, Medical Director, Women’s Health.

ezCare Concierge provides direct access to an RN Patient Navigator who can identify the services they need and make the direct connection. Access to a true healthcare professional is critical in a world where most people struggle with healthcare decision making and turn to the internet for advice. Working with a licensed professional to identify the right type of care at the appropriate time saves hassle, time and money.

The Christ Hospital’s concierge service is available for a variety of needs:

• Reviewing healthcare questions

• Connecting individuals with appointments

• Finding specialists close to home

• Verifying insurance coverage

• Accessing preventative care and screenings

"I was suffering with some uncomfortable symptoms—unsure where to turn and what could be done. After learning about ezCare Concierge services, I reached out discuss my symptoms. My nurse, Janet, made me feel at ease during the call. She assured me that my symptoms were treatable and that she and the Christ Hospital team were there to help. She set up an appointment with a specialist that was convenient with my schedule and followed up with me afterwards to make sure everything went well. I am currently feeling great and getting back on track. After my great experience with Janet I have recommended the service to several of my friends!" – Karen D., Cincinnati
