You’ve got the power to make the healthcare system work for you! Health visits are short, so it’s best to prepare ahead of time. Here are some tips: - Write down your questions and any symptoms. - Ask someone to go with you to help remember what the provider says. - During your visit, ask your most important questions first in case you run out of time. - Don’t be afraid to make sure you understand what your provider is saying – repeating the information in your own words can help.
