Focus On Your Best Health
In her more than 30 years as a physician leader in the public and private sectors, time and again Dr. Glenda understood that her patients needed to be better educated in health literacy. This led her in 2013 to co-author Focus On YOUR BEST HEALTH: A Smart Guide To The Health Care You Deserve.
About the Book
The authors’ goals were to coach and guide health care consumers through the trenches of the health care system, which was made even more complex after health care reform. In this instructional guide, they use real-life vignettes to share their clinical experiences from academic settings, private practice, community clinics and pre-paid health plans, to offer practical, simple and effective solutions to the common problems experienced by health care consumers.
Every reader should come away with the confidence to question authority in medical settings, expect the best care, and be an active participant in managing their medical experience.
Focus On YOUR BEST HEALTH is a timeless resource that gives patients the tools to survive the ‘new normal’ of health care – all the more vital after the wake of COVID-19 left the health care system in a tailspin with higher physician and nurse shortages, patient confusion over coverage and plans, and communication gaps between health care providers, patients and their families. It places patients at the center of an unruly medical universe and provides them with the knowledge to make smart choices about their health care, allowing them to experience clinical outcomes of the best kind.
