Currently, SAVE THE PATIENT empowers individuals to make the decision that is right for them through the following resources:

		savethepatient.org Website				Cable TV/PSAs
		Community outreach				Educational Seminars
		Health Caring Cards				Patient Advocacy

Patient Advocacy works onsite with the goal of educating health care providers, community-based organizations, and caregivers about improved communication and understanding in the health care setting.

Community Outreach trains patient advocates to assist those individuals who need assistance in their native languages in communities where English is not the primary language.

Educational Seminars provide workshops for medical advisors to train-the-trainer about effective communication skills that inform the public about patient's rights, medical procedures, and treatment options.

Health Caring Cards are laminated cards containing pertinent questions that should be asked of doctors, surgeons, hospitals, and prescription drug providers. These relevant questions have been suggested by experienced physicians who are affiliated with SAVE THE PATIENT and are likely to enhance a patient's understanding of any medical encounter. The questions appear in English on the front of the card, with Spanish, Polish, Korean, Chinese or Vietnamese on the reverse side.

Additional languages - including Braille - will be added as increased donations and funding are received. These Health Caring Cards are free to the public.

You can print the Health Caring Card from this web site or if you don't have a printer you can request a health caring card by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
