Week 4 Challenge: Make the Most of Your Health Care Team

Your health care team is a partnership between you and your doctor, nurses, and health care managers. This relationship requires honesty. Many people feel uncomfortable going to their doctor's appointment. They may not know how to talk with their doctor in the best way - what questions to ask, what information and items to take with them, or even how to describe their symptoms. Over the next few pages, this information is broken down. We want to help to make your relationship with your health care team less of a puzzle and more of partnership.
