• PatientPower.info Presents - How to Be a Powerful Patient
  A free, interactive event on how to get better care and partner with your medical providers
  Mercer Island Community Center, Mercer Island, WA
  Sunday, November 15th | 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
  With the shifting winds and uncertainty of Healthcare Reform, how can you, the patient, navigate the system and achieve the best healthcare results while still being in control? Powerful Patients get better care because they know where to look for information, where to go for care, and the right questions to ask. Many, along with their doctors, have shared their stories on Patient Power's 1,500 hours of programs. On November 15th, join Andrew Schorr, the Patient Power team, and many of our "stars" as we help you be a powerful patient. We'll showcase your story too, and give out "Powerful Patient" awards. This public event is free. Bring family and friends! Just let us know how many are coming. Please RSVP by clicking here. If you have further questions, contact Patient Power's Megan Hooks at megan@patientpower.info.
