IT IS MY WISH that all of us in the future will be required to carry a Personal Health Care Passport to every appointment (Dentist, Eye Doctor, ER visit, and all other health care providers) just as we are required to carry a US Passport to enter other countries. We all need to be able to provide accurate and up-to-date information about our health and history to ensure we get the best quality care.
"The Personal Health Care Passport is a great resource. Today everyone must be his/her own health care advocate. The Passport is a valuable tool to empower people to take charge of their own health care. It is a must for anyone who is going to see a health care provider and wants to accurately communicate a complete health history. Keeping track of immunizations, family history, and hospitalizations can be overwhelming and this booklet makes it much easier. I strongly recommend the Personal Health Care Passport for everyone!"
