As a transitional housing provider we can help to support and make medicine better by encouraging those we serve and in our general community to: (1) once a month review all health care issues; (2) update medication list and keep notes for their next medical visit; (3) check for needed medication refills; (4) review upcoming and needed doctor’s appointments; (5) keep a log of any new symptoms, side effects, or health care concerns; (6) carry information with you at all times for use in emergencies and (7) if possible use "one" pharmacy only and cultivate a pharmacist who knows you.

Those are outstanding suggestions. I would encourage you to also consider taking advantage of myHealthFolders, a confidential, easy to use online personal health record that allows us to keep track of our and our family's health histories, medications, health care providerss, pharmacy and other services that help us take better care of our health.
