Your Health Care Providers and Medications
One way to manage your health care is to know the names of your doctors and medications. You need to know:
- which health care workers you see,
- why you see them,
- and how to contact them.
It is important to have a list of your doctors’ and specialists’ names.
If you take any medications, you should know:
- the name of each medication
- the dose of each medication
- what it looks like
- how you take it
- when and how often you take it
- and why you take it.
