"Patient empowerment"
is an important part
of health care today.
The more you learn about
your health, the more
likely you are to feel
confident and comfortable
with the preventive
strategies and treatment
decisions that you and
your physician select.
The more you know, the
more power you have
over maintaining your
health.
Naturally, when caring
for yourself or someone
close to you that has
a particular disease
or condition, you want
to learn everything
about it, but don't
always know whom to
ask. You may find yourself
wondering about...
Something you discussed
with your doctor.
Other symptoms that
might be typical of
your condition.
Treatment alternatives.
Support and/or advice
from others.
Information for a loved
one.
A condition you consider
private.
Tthe latest medical
news on your condition.
Something you discussed
with your doctor.
