Check out their full calendar of events, and mark your calendar now for the "Getting the Most from Your Doctor's Appointment" presentation on Tuesday, March 20 from 9:30 –11:00 a.m. at the United Way office. The program will be presented by students from the Medical College of Wisconsin.
In the past, the patient-doctor relationship was generally one-directional, the doctor typically took the lead and the patient followed. Today, a good patient-doctor relationship is a partnership. This can sometimes be hard to achieve as today’s appointments become shorter and shorter and doctors see an increasing number of patients. During this program, you’ll learn how to take an interactive role in your health care along with communication tips for getting the most out of your appointment with the time available. Learn how to get ready for the appointment, share information with your doctor, ask questions, and actively make decisions with your doctor. This is a one of a kind program you don’t want to miss! Register to attend by calling 715-298-5721 or emailing Tony Omernik.
