About Hope Health & Wellness Advocacy
Healthcare shouldn’t leave you feeling overwhelmed, unheard, or alone.
Yet every day, individuals and families find themselves trying to make important medical decisions while navigating confusing diagnoses, multiple specialists, insurance challenges, and a healthcare system that often feels complicated and impersonal.
That’s why Hope Health & Wellness Advocacy was created.
My name is Tara Adams, and I’m the founder of Hope Health & Wellness Advocacy. My passion for patient advocacy didn’t begin in a classroom—it began through my own life experiences.
For more than 30 years, I’ve navigated the healthcare system as someone living with chronic illness. Along the way, I’ve also advocated for family members, friends, and colleagues during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Those experiences taught me how difficult it can be to find clear information, coordinate care, ask the right questions, and feel confident that you’re making informed healthcare decisions.
I understand what it’s like to sit in waiting rooms, sort through complicated medical information, and wonder what the next step should be. I also know how much difference it makes to have someone beside you who listens, helps you understand your options, and supports you throughout the process.
That understanding inspired me to combine decades of personal advocacy experience with professional patient advocacy training to create Hope Health & Wellness Advocacy.
As my journey continued, I realized that true wellness extends beyond doctor’s appointments and medical records. Successfully navigating healthcare is only one part of the picture. Living well also requires healthy habits, resilience, confidence, and a plan that supports the whole person.
That’s what led me to become a Certified Master Health and Wellness Coach. I am currently pursuing my National Board Certification for Health and Wellness Coaching, expanding my ability to support clients not only in navigating healthcare but also in creating meaningful, sustainable lifestyle changes that improve overall well-being.
My Mission
My mission is simple:
To provide compassionate guidance, education, advocacy, and wellness coaching that empowers individuals and families to navigate healthcare with confidence while building healthier, more fulfilling lives.
I believe every person deserves to understand their healthcare options, feel heard by their medical team, and have a trusted partner who supports both their medical journey and their personal wellness goals.

Whether you need an advocate during a difficult healthcare journey, a coach to help you improve your overall wellness, or both, my goal is to meet you where you are and provide the support that’s right for you.
Why “Hope”?
Hope is often the first thing people lose when healthcare becomes confusing or overwhelming.
My goal is to help restore that hope by providing knowledge, guidance, organization, encouragement, and compassionate support. When you understand your options and have someone walking beside you, healthcare becomes less intimidating—and when you begin making small, meaningful changes that improve your well-being, hope grows even stronger.
Hope isn’t just about getting through illness. It’s about creating a healthier, more fulfilling future. You won’t just be surviving, you will be thriving!
My Philosophy
I believe healthcare and wellness go hand in hand.
Advocacy helps you navigate the healthcare system with confidence.
Coaching helps you build the habits, mindset, and resilience to live your healthiest life.
Together, they create a more complete approach to your well-being—one that honors where you are today while helping you move toward where you want to be tomorrow.
Whether you’re advocating for yourself or someone you love, or you’re ready to take the next step in your wellness journey, Hope Health & Wellness Advocacy is here to help you find clarity, confidence, and hope.
I would be honored to walk alongside you every step of the way.
