Before Your Next Appointment

You do not have to remember every question once you enter the room.


Before your next healthcare appointment, take a few moments to write down:

1. What has changed since your previous visit?

2. What are your biggest concerns?

3. What questions do you want answered?

4. What information do you need explained differently?

5. What should you understand before leaving?

6. What are your next steps after the appointment?

Being prepared can help you have a more focused and productive conversation with your healthcare provider.

Questions Are Part of Being Informed.

  • If something does not make sense, ask.
  • If you need an explanation repeated, ask.
  • If you need information written down, ask.
  • If you want to understand your options, ask.

Being engaged in your healthcare begins with giving yourself permission to seek greater clarity.
