My name is Ken Partch offering patient advocacy advice.

For 30 years, I was a financial advisor, 20 as CIO at Santa Barbara Wealth Management. I received a Bachelor's in business (BS) and a Master's degree in finance (MS), and I am a Certified Estate Specialist (CES) and Professional Financial Planner (PFP). 

Mindset Must Be Learned

Intelligence is not the qualifier, but your motivation, determination, and changed behavior are. I often say advocacy for cancer patients challenges paradigms and is curiosity-driven on purpose to disrupt fixed mindsets. Cancer patient advocacy can be a game changer.

Goals Are To Overshoot

I always sought more than cancer to go away. I asked for life to present itself in more significant ways. The challenges of disease can allow you to heal other things you didn't think needed healing and usher in a higher quality of life. I call it disproving the fallacy. 

I've been where you are

When I faced a devastating diagnosis in October of 2012, maybe like you, I wondered why. Why now?  I had stage four metastatic melanoma that infiltrated my lungs with tumors. So I know a thing or two about fear. That was twelve years ago, and now, I am helping others achieve possibly a better outcome. 

Why is better than WHAT. Ask me why!!

Because You Want Better

Health issues want to move in one direction or another. Facing our problems head-on instead of avoiding them sends a message that transforms us from people who run away from difficulties into people who move boldly toward them.                 

i promise to listen to your story

I will sit in front of you, sitting on my hands so as not to write my jumbled thoughts as you share your story, so I am fully listening to your journey. It will be a privilege to hear you put into words — seamlessly, bravely, in whatever cadence you wish — to share with me what I need to know about you. Let me craft a plan for your healthcare, taking into account your unique needs and timetable. If you reach out we can discuss the things that matter most to you: your goals of care, the quality of life that you envision, your values, and your ideals.  

There are advantages in choosing the right advocate.

Think In Terms Of Coaching

I help you see as many available options as possible and then coach you in pursuing measures that have you more in control of your health. I am committed to integrity and transparency, and straightforwardness. 

IMPORTANT TIPS

Lifestyle Choice

Lifestyle Choice

Lifestyle Choice

My aim is to provide patient advocacy to people with unmet needs with answers quickly.

  • I look to people whom I admire and scribble down those things they do that I could incorporate in my life each day.

Favorite Foods

Lifestyle Choice

Lifestyle Choice

Forget about killing old eating habits, create new ones that support the new you.

  • Enjoying good food is not only a great contributor to better overall well being, but it can also reverse habits of eating poorly.

Heart Healthy

Lifestyle Choice

Heart Healthy

A happy heart needs love, support, sleep, exercise, and a good diet.

  • During cancer therapy, your heart gets asked to do much of the heavy lifting. One way I keep 'healthy' is doing push-ups. 

Best Medicine

Stay in Your Lane

Heart Healthy

Separate but apart means doing things together that for a stronger you.

  • Running your race never got easier than stationary aerobic exercise in a swimming pool. Three days a week is perfect.

Pain Management

Stay in Your Lane

Stay in Your Lane

Pain is usually referred, locate something out of balance and chances are you are on the right path.

  • I am all about pain: remember, no pain, no gain? Early pain management is key to a better quality of life and mood levels. 

Stay in Your Lane

Stay in Your Lane

Stay in Your Lane

Run your own race. Cancer knows no bounds and rarely stays in its lane. Stay in front is my advice.

  • Staying in your lane sounds punitive when realistically it is liberating. You be the judge and run your race, forget what others say. 

Abilities

  • Making sure your wishes are carried out 
  • Able to read and write with clarity
  • Researching alternative opportunities
  • Someone who speaks his mind  
  • Adaptable and with determination 
  • Cognitive of the challenges
  • Radically open-minded at setting goals 
  • Able to build vibrant relationships  
  • Knowledgable of finance  
  • Provide empowerment and autonomy
  • Plans for the future and is realistic 


If you need answers soon, it's possible you need a patient advocate. Let's go face to face.

Face To Face

It would be best if you were not alone nor had to navigate the healthcare system without a trusted and experienced patient advocate. I am not a doctor or clinician, but I will work with whomever you choose and do my best to increase your odds for a better outcome.
