About
Carrie Andrews, BCPA
Carrie is a Board Certified Patient Advocate with a degree in English & Communications. She has done everything from work for the Department of Ecology producing public information materials to being the Communications Director at the Northwest Maritime Center. In between there she owned a web development company for fifteen years and then was the Assistant Head of School at a small alternative private school.
Since 2010 she has been drawn to end-of-life issues, and has found her calling as a Patient Advocate and Advance Care Planner. She offers individual consultations and teaches group classes on the importance of assigning a health care agent and having easy-to-understand advance directives.
Carrie is convinced that people of all ages can live better by being willing to think about dying; being prepared for “what if”—fiscally, legally, and emotionally—and really talking to your friends and family about what you want the end of your life to look like. In her role as a Patient Advocate she can help make sure your wishes are upheld as you navigate a medical condition or situation.
