Mel Randle, AGACNP-BC 

Health Navigation / Patient Advocacy / Care Consulting by a Board-Certified Provider​
Every patient deserves a voice in their care.

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare—as both a clinician and a chronic illness patient—I understand what it feels like to be on both sides of the exam table. I created Lunaris Health to make sure no one has to face the system alone.

PATIENT ADVOCACY Services

Your Personal Healthcare Advisor

From single concerns to multiple, complex conditions — I bring clarity, support, and trusted guidance.

Private, Transparent Pricing — No Insurance Required

Appointment Coordination

Managing multiple specialists is overwhelming. I help find the right specialists that align with your symptoms or condition, schedule visits, prepare questions, & close communication gaps—improving safety & outcomes. (AHRQ)

Medication Reconciliation & Safety Reviews

Multiple medications can be confusing and risky. I review your bottles to create one accurate “source of truth” list shared across all providers. I identify duplications, interactions, and confirm treatment plans with your care team. I clarify why each medication was prescribed, flag drugs continued unnecessarily and check for missed contraindications. I also teach proper timing, diet considerations, and ways to avoid reduced effectiveness. (AHRQ)

Second-Opinion Preparation 

Did you know some second-opinion providers are professional partners of your original physician? This can affect objectivity. I research specialists to help ensure independence and prepare your records, timelines, and questions so you get the most value from your consult. (PMC)

Post-Op & Complex-Care Coordination

After surgery or complex procedures, I monitor recovery, coach on safe practices, and escalate issues early—helping prevent complications and ER returns. Concierge Nursing Available.

Benefits & Logistics Coaching

Healthcare is stressful enough without the paperwork. I assist with insurance inquiries, transportation, caregiver education, and community resources—especially vital for older adults and families in suburban Cook County and outskirts. (AgeOptions)

Appointment Companion 

Medical visits can feel rushed and overwhelming. I can go with you to appointments—in person or virtually—to ensure your questions are asked, your concerns are heard, and your care plan is fully understood. I take notes, help clarify medical language, and follow up to make sure nothing is overlooked. With me by your side, you’ll have a trusted advocate to support you through every step of the visit.

Chronic Pain Advocacy 
 

Living with chronic pain often means facing dismissive care, ineffective prescriptions, or treatment plans. I advocate for you by reviewing care plans, coordinating across specialists, and ensuring your pain is taken seriously—without bias or gaslighting. I do not accept treatment approaches that fail to meaningfully address pain, and I recognize that some non-narcotic medications prescribed as “alternatives” can carry risks greater than the conditions they’re meant to treat. My role is to ensure your pain is evaluated through evidence-based options, that risks are openly discussed, & that no patient is left to suffer without appropriate care.

Chronic Condition Plan Reviews

I review treatment plans for chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart failure, COPD, and hypertension against published best-practice guidelines. I then share recommendations with your existing providers to ensure nothing falls through the cracks and your care stays aligned with the highest standards.

Readmission-Risk Reduction Plans

Patients often bounce back to the hospital because key details are missed. I build customized follow-up and self-management plans, review medications, and keep your care team aligned—helping lower the risk of repeat ER visits. (NCBI)

Hospice & End-of-Life Support

Facing end-of-life decisions can be overwhelming for patients and families. I provide compassionate advocacy by ensuring comfort measures reflect patient wishes and by clarifying all available treatment options so families can make informed choices. I facilitate communication between providers and loved ones, address concerns about pain management, and keep dignity and respect at the center of care. I have walked alongside hundreds of patients and families through these moments, and my role is to stand with you—making sure nothing is overlooked and that your family feels supported and educated on what to expect every step of the way.
