Preparing For Your Visit
Kent Community Health Center wants to help make sure that you
understand the health information that is being shared with you from a doctor
or nurse. Below are some tips that will help provide clear health communication.
Tips for Clear Health Communication
Here are a few tips you can try:
• I will ask the 3 questions.
• I will bring a friend or family member to help me at my doctor visit.
• I will make a list of my health concerns to tell my doctor or nurse.
• I will bring a list of all my medicines when I visit my doctor or nurse.
• I will ask my pharmacist for help when I have questions about my medicines.
Your doctor, nurse, and pharmacist want you to get the information you need to care for your health. To remind yourself what you need to do and the questions you can ask at your next medical visit
