to improve the healthcare experience

Communicating
effectively in any healthcare situation is challenging and stressful.
This valuable 22-page booklet will assist you in gaining
the communication skills necessary to manage your healthcare
information or that of a loved one. It will also provide you
with suggestions and tools to use as you navigate a hospitalization.
It is written in a "user-friendly" style and fits
easily in a purse, briefcase or glove compartment. There is
a special section to write down your questions as you prepare
for your doctor's visit.
This booklet is a thoughtful, yet practical gift that
is ideal for aging family members, friends, neighbors or colleagues
with chronic illness, parents supporting medically fragile children,
anyone you know who is a caregiver and most importantly YOU.
Medical and health related decisions can only be made if all of
the critical information is understood and communicated clearly.
