Championing your medical needs and goals

OUTPATIENT ADVOCACY
I can accompany you to outpatient appointments to ensure information is conveyed thoroughly and accurately.

INPATIENT ADVOCACY
During hospital admissions, I can be at your side to amplify your voice and advocate for your needs and your rights during both treatment planning and discharge planning. I can also provide oversight during transitions between levels of care to maximize understanding for you and your family and to minimize gaps in care.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVES
I can provide expert guidance in completing your desired advance directive documents (including notarization within New Hampshire.) If desired, I can facilitate a family meeting to discuss the implications of your choices. I offer unique insight and support for patients and families who wish to align their care with Catholic doctrine and medical ethics.

HEALTHCARE POWER OF ATTORNEY
I can be designated as your HCPOA, assuring that your express medical wishes remain the priority in your treatment, allowing your family to focus on you and one another.

FAMILY COMMUNICATION
I can serve as a primary point of contact within your family and between family and medical providers, ensuring that everyone stays informed. I can facilitate family meetings (in person and/or virtual) when desired.

IN-HOME CARE COORDINATION
I can coordinate and oversee your home-based care with the goal of maximizing wellness and autonomy.

Alisha Youch, MSW

I am a clinical medical social worker with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families through complex medical conditions, hospitalizations and long-term care transitions. With experience including the Emergency Department, medical inpatient/ICU/CCU, home healthcare, home hospice and inpatient hospice care, I have deep knowledge of how healthcare systems operate from the inside.

My background also includes over a decade as a psychiatric crisis clinician in several states (RI, CA, FL and NH) inpatient psychiatric social work, and as the primary intake clinician at a Community Mental Health Center.

Additionally, I am a National Certified Guardian with three years experience as a public (court-ordered) guardian.

I am the proud wife of a retired US Naval Officer, and my husband and I have one adult son. I sing as a cantor each weekend, and I also serve on my parish's Pastoral Council. My husband and I recently adopted a Great Pyrenees/Lab mix named Callie - and we now fight the daily battle with dog fur during shedding season!
