Workshops for Heath Organizations:

Chart Your Own Health helps health organizations meet their goals by enhancing the lives of those they serve. We offer workshops that motivate and empower people to become health care advocates - for themselves and for those they love.

Many adults are dealing with personal health issues, the medical needs of aging parents, or concerns for the health of children.

Taking positive steps today, to be prepared for a medical emergency and for lifelong health, can make a big difference.

Workshops for Businesses:

Chart Your Own Health helps businesses increase productivity by creating healthier and happier employees.

• Save time: People with a health care plan get their needs met more efficiently. Time away from work and home is minimized. And, those who are prepared can stop worrying about health care and concentrate on work and relaxation instead.
  
  
• Save money: Consumers who act as their own advocates in the health care system typically feel more “in control” of their health concerns, miss less work, and they know how to avoid costly medical errors and complications.
  
  
• Save lives: A health record and plan can save a life by providing necessary information, avoiding medical errors, and empowering individuals to seek medical care appropriately.
  

Workshop benefits include:

Education
Individuals learn how to track personal risks (based on family history and other factors), monitor chronic diseases, access and collect their own medical information, avoid medical errors, advocate for seriously ill family members and friends, and much more.

Empowerment
Once clients understand their rights and responsibilities in the medical care system and set up personal health records, most report a sense of being “in control” of their health.

My Chart
Each client creates a personal health record which includes an emergency medical summary. Health records and services are tailored to individual participant needs and all consultations are confidential.

• Form a partnership with doctors and other care providers
  
• Set up and keep personal health records
  
• Avoid medical errors
