Fees sustain the work
Professional preparation, insurance, privacy safeguards, documentation, education, and follow-through require time and resources.
Our mission & model
Reforming healthcare in the moments where people feel it most
We may not be able to change healthcare all at once. We can help change what happens to one person, one family, and one decision at a time.
Advocacy designed for people too often overlooked. Open to inquiries from every community.
Next Move Care protects the person's voice when healthcare becomes complicated. Proudly LGBTQ+ and Iraqi-owned, we provide independent RN-led advocacy for patients, partners, families of origin, and chosen families. Our work is LGBTQ+-centered and explicitly affirms women—including Black transgender women—as well as trans men, nonbinary people, and chosen families. The service is intentionally designed for people whose identity, language, disability, age, culture, or family structure may be overlooked—while welcoming every person with dignity, honesty, and professional advocacy.
Our LGBTQ+ and chosen-family commitment
Black transgender women, trans people, and chosen families are not footnotes.
Affirming advocacy must be visible in how a person is addressed, who is invited into the conversation, what information is shared, and whether the plan reflects the person's actual life.
- Names and pronouns: We use the name and pronouns the client asks us to use.
- Partners and chosen family: We ask whom the patient wants involved and help make those wishes visible, subject to applicable law, documents, and authorization.
- Privacy: No one must disclose an identity to request service. We ask before identity information is shared within an accepted advocacy scope.
- No assumptions: We do not assume family structure, sexual orientation, gender, faith, culture, caregiving capacity, or treatment goals.
- Race and gender together: Black transgender women are explicitly welcome. We do not treat race, gender, disability, faith, age, or family structure as irrelevant to the healthcare experience.
- Accountability: We can help document concerns, prepare questions, and locate an official complaint process without declaring that discrimination occurred or providing legal advice.
- Provider choice: We may help research potentially affirming options, but we do not certify, guarantee, or control another person or organization.
Cultural humility
Identity and culture are lived together—not placed in separate boxes.
Bilingual RN-led support is available in English and Arabic, including Iraqi Arabic. Ali brings lived familiarity with Iraqi, Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, immigrant, refugee, LGBTQ+, and chosen- family experiences. Beyond those lived experiences, Next Move Care approaches Black communities; women, including trans women; people with Palestinian, Irish, South African, South Asian, Latino, Indigenous, multiracial, and other cultural roots; disabled and older adults; and people of every faith or no faith with humility rather than assumed expertise. This is a commitment to respectful advocacy—not a claim to speak for every community.
Cultural humility means asking, listening, and allowing each client to define what matters. No person is asked to choose between identity, family, faith, safety, or dignity in order to be respected here.
Why this is not a nonprofit
A mission can be charitable in spirit without being organized as a charity
A nonprofit is not simply a kind business that charges less. It has no private owner or equity, must be governed for an approved public purpose, places control and fiduciary responsibility with a board, and must dedicate its assets and surplus to that exempt purpose. That structure is valuable when an organization is primarily funded by grants and donations to deliver broad public programs.
Next Move Care is beginning as a founder-led professional advocacy service. Clients hire it for individualized nursing knowledge, preparation, and follow-through. The current model needs direct accountability, the ability to respond quickly, the freedom to refine services from real cases, and a sustainable way to compensate skilled work. A mission-driven LLC is the more honest structure for that work today.
About the word “for-profit”
The label can sound commercial. The conduct gives it meaning.
“For-profit” can carry a negative connotation in healthcare because people have seen revenue placed ahead of dignity, access, or safety. That concern deserves respect. But the legal label does not decide the organization's character. Its choices do.
Independence matters
The client—not a hospital, payer, facility, or referral source—pays for the advocacy, helping keep the client's goals central.
Access is built into the model
Supported and Community Access rates and free public education turn stated values into operating choices.
Ethics set the limits
No referral payments, no guaranteed outcomes, no fear-based selling, and no accepting work that falls outside the defined service.
Mission leads. Sustainability makes it possible to keep showing up.
What reform looks like here
Change begins inside the conversation
- When an older adult is spoken to instead of spoken around.
- When a disability and the realities of home are considered in the plan.
- When an LGBTQ+ patient's identity, pronouns, partner, and chosen family are treated with dignity.
- When a Black transgender woman—or any trans or nonbinary person—is addressed by the name and pronouns they request.
- When a woman's symptoms, safety concerns, caregiving limits, and decision-making role are taken seriously.
- When medical language is explained without judgment.
- When a caregiver can state honestly what they can and cannot safely do.
- When someone asks whether the next step is realistic—and who is responsible for it.
Next Move Care does not promise to repair an entire healthcare system through one case. It works to make that system more understandable, accountable, and humane for the person standing in front of us.
The long-term structure
One mission does not require one blended company
The vision may eventually include advocacy, a vetted coordination network, logistics, licensed clinical or palliative services, hospice or respite support, an affirming membership, and charitable access. Those parts should not be mixed together before they are ready.
Each regulated service must have the correct ownership, licenses, clinical accountability, contracts, insurance, privacy system, and billing. Clients must retain provider choice, and payments must be tied to actual work—not the value or volume of healthcare referrals.
Kindness must do something
Compassion enters the conversation. Preparation and advocacy move it forward.
Here, kindness means listening before assuming, explaining without embarrassing, preparing before important meetings, respecting culture and identity, asking necessary questions, and following through when responsibility remains unclear.
