Imagine my excitement at being invited to meet with Manitoba's Healthy Living Minister Kerri Irvin-Ross on September 2, 2008!
All along I have believed that the Personal Healthcare Journal could benefit many people. Our own family has experienced the benefits and now others are experiencing the benefits of using this simple, easy-to-use tool.
Here's a quote from an Atikokan Healthcare Team member in Atikokan, Ontario: “The possibilities for how this book can be used to help not only seniors but anyone with multiple medical needs is astounding. It is simple and easy to read with lots of space for every aspect of a patient’s health needs. What most people don’t expect when they get this book is that there is also information on how to speak with your doctor as well as information on advanced directives. I can’t tell you how important the information on advanced directives is to both patients and families. The Atikokan Family Health Team is excited about the possibilities of this book and the many uses we will have for it. We are hoping that every senior in Atikokan will have one as well as all those other people who would benefit from this book.”
Our healthcare system is changing. We need to value the work our doctors and nurses do. They are pressed from all sides: family, work, patients, other healthcare professionals and even government.
If we can help them out by staying on top of our own health, their jobs will become easier and we will all benefit.
I'll let you know how the meeting goes.
