Health care appointments can be really stressful for any patient.  Becoming a more confident, empowered patient is especially important when we are coping with a chronic health condition.

Join us for a free 1 hour, interactive workshop, focusing on what to do before, during and after an appointment. A mix of learning methods is used during the workshop including videos, information sharing and a guide to take home to help you use new communication skills at your next healthcare appointment.

During this workshop you will explore effective ways to:  

• Prepare for your upcoming appointment
• Communicate with your healthcare provider, ask questions and express concerns
• Participate in your own treatment planning and follow-up

This workshop prepares and empowers you to communicate more effectively with your healthcare provider. You are the most important member of your healthcare team!
