If you’ve ever received a call to notarize documents in a hospital, hospice, nursing home, rehab center, or skilled nursing facility and felt that instant pressure, this episode is for you.

Because hospital notary work isn’t “just another appointment.”

It’s some of the most meaningful, high-impact work a notary can do. It can also be one of the highest risk environments in the entire profession, because you’re often dealing with vulnerable signers, emotional family dynamics, time pressure, and documents that are commonly contested after the fact.

In this episode of the Sign & Thrive Podcast, I’m joined by my longtime friend and colleague, Laura Biewer of CoachMeLaura.com. We call her the GOAT for a reason. Laura is a notary expert with over 22 years of experience, and she’s relentlessly committed to raising the level of competence and confidence in the notary industry.

Laura also just released her first standalone book, The Compassionate Notary, a field guide for notaries who operate inside medical facilities.

In this conversation, we break down what it really takes to show up professionally in high-stakes environments where you may only get one chance to do the job correctly.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why hospital notary work feels intimidating (and why that fear is valid)
The most common documents notaries encounter in medical facilities, including powers of attorney and healthcare directives
How to protect yourself with proper intake, screening, and documentation
Why competence and “staying in your lane” matters more than ever in a hospital setting
How to slow down, plan for interruptions, and avoid rushing the signer
What medical facilities and staff actually value in a professional notary
How to become the go-to notary in your community for bedside and facility appointments
Simple, real-world marketing strategies to get consistent medical facility work through relationships and online visibility

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is simple:

Medical facility notary work isn’t intimidating because you’re not good enough.
It’s intimidating because it matters.

If you’re a notary who cares about people, wants to do meaningful work, and also wants to operate with confidence, structure, and professionalism, you’re going to love this episode.
