For the crisis
The Meridian Medical Map
Whether it is an ER visit, a new diagnosis, or a planned surgery or hospitalization, you receive a comprehensive physician review of your entire health picture. It is delivered as a written plan that explains what is happening, what matters most, questions to consider asking, who should be on your care team, and what to expect next.
While care is underway
Chart Meridian - Focused Case Advisory
A defined period of support through a new diagnosis, hospitalization, or surgery. This option provides physician guidance from the first choices you face through discharge and the critical weeks of recovery at home.
For ongoing care
Prime Meridian - Longitudinal Advisory
A longitudinal physician partnership for families facing serious or complex illness. With a physician who knows your history, your specialists, and your care goals, you have someone with you when it matters most, advocating for your needs and helping you navigate your healthcare with clarity and confidence.
Who we serve
For families who want a physician on their side.
Families in a medical crisis
The ER visit, the admission, the surgery, the rushed discharge. You need clear answers quickly, from a physician advocate who speaks the language of medicine.
Adult children & caregivers
Overseeing a parent's care from across town or across the country, and making high-stakes decisions without being in the room.
Serious & complex illness
Cancer, rare disease, or several chronic conditions, with care spread across institutions and no one connecting the pieces.
Families planning ahead
For those who want a trusted physician in place before a crisis, with a plan, the right care team, and someone who already knows their history.
How we work
Physician-led, start to finish.
Physician to physician
We speak with your doctors as a colleague, with the clinical fluency to ask precise questions and follow up.
Clarity over complexity
Every conversation ends with your family understanding what is happening and what comes next.
Your goals lead
Your values shape every recommendation, including when the right choice is less treatment, not more.
Alongside, not instead
We work with your primary care physician and specialists, never around them.
