Make a Medical History Card
Take
some time to write down your medical
history. That means information like what medication you’re taking, and
your allergies—both now and in the past. Having this information with you will
help better manage your health when you’re meeting with health
professionals. It also helpful in case of an emergency when you may not be able
to talk.
ABC Health Matters empowers
Canadians to manage their health more effectively by increasing their
confidence when talking about and making decisions regarding health issues with
family, friends and health professionals. Through the program, adults develop a
deeper understanding of how to advocate for their and their family’s health and
better understand how to access health care.
ABC
Health Matters is delivered in communities across Southern Ontario. The
program is structured around a three-hour workbook-based workshop. The workbooks
can also be used by individuals at home.
