Do you feel helpless in the face of "the system?"

 

This show is to help you learn how to take control and steer your way to health.

 

Hear how others have met these challenges and overcome them.

 

Learn how you can do so too.

 

This program is a forum to share your experiences, ask your questions, and learn how to create and manage your health care team.

 

Make the healthcare system work for you!

 

FACT - YOU are your own first and most important health care provider.

 

FACT - YOU spend more time with your body than the doctor.

 

FACT - YOU know where you hurt, when you hurt, and can figure out connections with meals, activities, or times of the month.

 

FACT - YOU did not go to medical school, so you need the skills of your doctor too!

 

FACT - YOUR insights are also important.

 

We can help you find a doctor who respects your input and treats you as a member of the team.
