Mission Statement/Vision

All About You Healthcare Advocates is committed to providing accessible healthcare services to community members, empowering them to achieve their healthcare goals and enhance their quality of life. We aim to improve health equity and foster health literacy in our communities by bridging gaps that hinder individuals in underserved communities from accessing vital healthcare services and community resources.
We believe that it is fundamental for those we serve to voice their healthcare concerns and needs and understand their options. We are committed to humbly serving our communities and responsibly managing the resources entrusted to our organization.
Our vision is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their ethnic background, gender, demographic location, or income, has access to quality and affordable healthcare.

Who We Are

All About You Healthcare Advocates is a non-profit organization that provides healthcare advocacy, health screenings, and health education in New Jersey. The organization is committed to bridging the gaps that hinder low-income, uninsured, and underinsured individuals in Black and Brown communities from receiving quality healthcare services and community resources. By advocating for health equity and wellness and improving health literacy, the organization strives to empower its community members to achieve their healthcare goals and improve their quality of life.
We provide direct healthcare services and health screenings aimed at identifying our community members’ healthcare needs and the barriers that can prevent them from accessing healthcare services.
Our experienced healthcare professionals understand how difficult it can be to navigate through the complex healthcare arena. That is why we are enthusiastic about helping those we serve see their way through. We believe that by putting our clients in the front seat, they can articulate what matters to them most about their health and make wise decisions that will improve their physical well-being.
Our organizational structure provides essential services that enable our target population to receive healthcare exams and screenings that promote good health and wellness before an individual becomes acutely ill. Our direct approach highlights our commitment to initiative-taking healthcare for the underserved and mitigates the financial burden of healthcare costs on families and the healthcare system. We tailor our services to assist adults aged eighteen and above who encounter obstacles in accessing the healthcare system.

Goals of Organization

Our organization seeks to improve Health Equity by dismantling the barriers that hinder access to primary and preventative healthcare services and resources in underserved communities. We strive to ensure that individuals with limited resources and lack of health literacy receive quality healthcare services.

Our primary goal is to provide essential health services that enable our target population to receive healthcare exams and vital health screenings. We aim to assess whether an individual has an acute or untreated chronic medical condition and identify the barriers our community members face when accessing primary medical care and preventive healthcare services.

We also strive to expand our network of community health partners and healthcare providers who share our goals. By doing so, we can serve a larger population and increase access to vital healthcare services, which can help prevent delays in treatments and optimize the health and quality of life for hundreds of individuals and their families.
 
Additionally, we aim to reduce the negative stigma surrounding healthcare in our communities by promoting positive health outcomes and minimizing the unnecessary use of healthcare resources.

All About You Healthcare Advocates (AAU) will provide health care advocacy consultation services to individuals in the state of New Jersey, currently serving Middlesex County. Our experienced healthcare professionals will offer our clients one-on-one assistance, will assess our clients’ needs, and address any concerns our clients may have as it pertains to their physical health and well-being. We will review our clients’ treatment plan of care set-forth by their healthcare provider(s), or lack thereof.

Our primary goal is to ensure that our clients receive quality healthcare services by bridging any gaps that may exist between our clients and their healthcare provider(s). Our team of experienced healthcare professionals understand how difficult it can be for one to navigate through a very complex healthcare arena; whether you have an acute illness, a chronic medical condition, or you are just simply trying to keep up with your routine care appointment(s) and medication(s), we are dedicated to help you see your way through!

We believe in a “goal-oriented” approach, that sets the stage for our clients (putting them in the front-seat), to be able to articulate what matters to them the most about their health. We seek to empower them to make wise decisions that will ultimately improve our clients’ health and well-being, to improve the negative stigma that can be associated with healthcare and decrease the cost of the unnecessary use of resources.
Our “teamwork-approach” will allow us to work with our clients and collaborate with their healthcare provider(s), thereby bridging any gaps in miscommunication, striving for optimal treatment outcomes and preventing any delays in treatment.

We seek to help underserved individuals in our communities with limited access to healthcare and healthcare resources; those without healthcare insurance or have minimum healthcare insurance benefits and individuals who may have a lack of understanding on how the healthcare system operates. We will strive to provide our services to anyone seeking our assistance 18 years of age or older.

All About You Healthcare Advocates
Tanesha Owens is a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and Patient Advocate. She is the President and Founder of All About You Healthcare Advocates. She has been enthusiastic about caring for others for over two decades, ever since she decided to pursue a career in nursing. Throughout her nursing career, she has continued to advocate for her patients and their families, providing them with exceptional care.
In 2017, Tanesha was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder that left her paraplegic and blind. Despite her years of healthcare knowledge, she felt isolated and fearful. This experience motivated her to ensure that no one should feel that way or struggle to access healthcare and preventive life-altering treatment that can improve their health and quality of life. With the grace of God and months of ongoing intensive therapy and rehabilitation, Tanesha regained her vision and ability to walk again.
Tanesha’s husband is a remarkable four-time cancer survivor. Throughout his journey, Tanesha stood by his side as a fierce advocate, collaborating closely with his team of clinicians. Her unwavering commitment ensured that he received the finest care, where his voice was not only heard, but actively included in the decision-making process. This comprehensive approach prioritized both his emotional well-being and physical needs.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 instilled a great deal of fear in our communities, healthcare providers, and hospitals. Tanesha found herself advocating for her family, friends, and colleagues more than ever before. She began by lending a listening ear and providing moral support. Her role soon expanded to phone consultations, where she helped people understand their health and treatment options, collaborating with their care providers, and advising them on when to seek medical attention. Tanesha realized that having a patient advocate was crucial and made a positive impact on the mental and physical health of those she assisted.
Tanesha Owens established “All About You Healthcare Advocates” in 2021 to address health disparities that disproportionately affect individuals with limited resources and lack of health literacy. Her personal experience of living with a chronic illness has enabled her to fully comprehend the day-to-day struggles that may hinder someone from working and earning a living to provide for their family. The ability to obtain affordable, quality healthcare services, or pay for medications, can be challenging and have a devastating impact on whether one will seek healthcare at all. This is especially true for early health screenings that can detect a treatable medical condition and improve the trajectory of someone’s life. Tanesha is committed to making a difference in healthcare and attributes her ability to work and advocate for others to her faith and calling from God.

What People Say

If we did not have you to advocate for my husband’s health plan, explain the medical procedures ordered, interpret test results and call for moral support I know that his care and recovery would have been much more difficult.

Your advocacy, support and knowledge was priceless and assured us when we were so unsure that we were making good medical decisions. The medical staff, without a doubt, did treat us differently when you conferenced with them on our behalf. You were able to articulate with confidence what was expected and as a result my husband got better care and attention. We are eternally grateful for the support, time and love you poured into us. It gave my husband the strength and confidence to get well. My prayers are that every patient and family would have a Tanesha to support and advocate for them when dealing with the healthcare system.

Love and blessings,

Bridget B

Tanesha loves to help people and cares about meeting their needs. Her healthcare expertise helped me to better understand what to expect during my time in the hospital. She helped ease my worries when I felt that I was being discharged too soon. I am truly grateful for the services All About You provided!

Thank you!
