Information for Personal Health Decisions

Talk to Your Doctor to Lose Weight - People who talk to their doctor are much more motivated to lose weight than those who don't.  Open your mouth; it got you into this situation and it can get you out of it.

Improper Use of Antibiotics - Antibiotics are miracle drugs that fight infections caused by bacteria, but the bacteria that antibiotics controls have developed resistance to these drugs.

Take Charge of Your Care - The most important member of your healthcare team is you. Being involved and keeping informed are the best ways to ensure your own safety.

Get the Most from Your Doctor's Visit - When you are in your doctor's office, there is no such thing as a dumb question. Remember that it is your health, so you need to be actively involved.
