Rebeka Acosta is the first Board Certified Patient Advocate in the State of Nevada, and the Founder of A+J Patient Advocacy. After a 15-year career in healthcare finance, she transitioned her focus to health advocacy in 2018. 


In her work, she supports clients with chronic illness from childhood through young adulthood. Rebeka aims to empower her clients to become the best advocates possible, navigating the health system safely and efficiently.

She believes strongly in health access, education, and support for the entire family unit and works to promote transparency, patient-centered communication, and patient-led care teams with every client.
