BEing PREpared for Medical Visits & Problems: Best Laid Plans

Subscribe to this feed
Being a "Take-Charge Patient" (aka 'proactive' or 'active patient', like our YOU model 'foundation' represents). Education, organization of resources, and providers to assist you if needed to effectively navigate the challenging medical terrain in the United States today. The LEGAL aspect of being prepared (Wills, Power of Attorney - General/Medical, Living Wills/Advanced Directives). The FINANCIAL aspects: tax savings, insurances, prepayment of funeral plans, memorial funds and nonprofits, and 'concierge providers' who do not take insurance. The biggest gift you can give your loved ones is being prepared if/when they need to help YOU, and vice versa. (PRINT/email this if you think it might help your loved one help THEM with the process! An ounce of prevention/pound of cure!)
