You’re Invited! We hope you’ll join us for our next Empowered #patientchat discussion. We will be discussing prevention and how an empowered patient approaches making healthy decisions.
Staying healthy and living a long life starts with preventive healthcare. Preventive healthcare can help you avoid illness and detect problems before you notice any symptoms – helping you stay healthy. This may include immunizations, vaccines, physical evaluations, lab work, x-rays and medically appropriate health screenings. Let’s chat about preventive care and why it can benefit everyone.
Guiding our discussion will be the following Topic (T#:) Questions:
T1: Is prevention a misnomer? Should focus be on risk reduction?
T2: How do you identify your risks? Does knowing your risks help you make healthier choices?
T3: What are some challenges in getting regular screenings?
T4: Why do you think it often takes a serious illness before people take their health seriously?
T5: How do we keep this conversation going?
We hope to see you Friday, September 8th on Twitter (or tchat.io/rooms/
