About
98,000 Americans died last year from drug reactions that were completely preventable. An analogy gives a better picture of the magnitude of this number: Imagine what would happen if a 747 jet crashed and all 268 passengers on board died – once a day, 365 days of the year. There would be a public uproar over the audacity that this could happen on American soil. And yet, it does happen, but not in our skies – it happens in our local community emergency rooms, trusted doctors’ offices, and overcrowded hospital beds.
Imagine if someone you loved was one of the 98,000. Would you be in an uproar? Do you know how your doctor ranks against others in the field when it comes to treating specific types of illnesses? Do you know if your local hospitals are using the most up to date technology to ensure that their doctors have the information they need to provide you and your loved ones with the quality of care you deserve? It’s not always the doctor’s fault they don’t have the most up to date information at their fingertips – but it also should be your right and your priority to know if they do before you walk into their clinic doors.
My Health Care Companion™ is here to help you do just that – to arm you with the information you need to help you make the decisions that matter, when they matter. The Companion part in our title is meant just as it sounds – we strive to be a personal companion helping you navigate the extremely complex world of your health and quality of health care you receive.
