Topic: “Being a Healthy Adult: How to Advocate for Your Health and Health Care”
Given by: Lisa Bayer, Esq., CCM, CDP
Advocating for your health requires an engaged and proactive approach, including thorough preparation for medical appointments, clear communication with healthcare providers, and diligent management of personal medical records. Essential practices involve compiling questions in advance, gaining a comprehensive understanding of your diagnosis and available treatment options, and bringing a support person when necessary. It is important to rely on informed judgment, consider getting second opinions when appropriate, and engage in professional patient advocacy services to ensure that individual concerns are adequately addressed.
