Making Sense of the Chaos
Kimberly Hassmer is a dedicated mother of three children, living in Sandston, Virginia. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education and taught in the public school system for 8 years before becoming a full-time caregiver for her younger son, Blake. In her spare time, she enjoys singing in church, reading books, making lists, laughing with friends, taking walks around the block and spending time with her husband. She has her CNA certification from the American Red Cross and has spent time as a Medicaid Service Facilitator. She currently sits on the Family Advisory Committee at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU and has also led the Feeding Tube Support group there.
What Clients Have to Say
Kimberly made a medical binder for us that honestly saved us so many times. We are in the process of adoption and our son is medically fragile so we have several things we need to keep with us at all times. While on vacation in TN he has a seizure. Very quickly we were able to turn to the pages the EMS crew, registration, and hospital staff needed. This saved several minutes and took lots of stress off myself and my husband needing to look up and remember important information. Everyone we have talked to has mentioned how nice our binder is and how it would be nice for everyone with a medically fragile child to have one. It stays with us at all times and as his information grows his binder grows. We are so glad Kim decided to share her knowledge of these binders.
The Medical Binder that Kimberly put together for me has been extremely helpful! Having to deal with multiple chronic medical issues, numerous medical professionals & clinics can produce large amounts of records. Being able to keep these records contained in an organized binder has reduced my stress level many times. It is very helpful when communicating with doctors, insurance, clinics, etc to be able to quickly & efficiently find records. I highly recommend this system & Organized Advocacy LLC to anyone!!
I am extremely thankful for Organized Advocacy and her help with making a medical binder for my elderly and medically complicated father. More than just the binder itself, it was helpful and encouraging to sit down with Kim and actually go over what I needed and what wasn’t really important to keep. I now feel empowered to help advocate for my father and his needs.
