Training will help seniors be more assertive with doctors
By Sylvia Rosen, Correspondent
DANVERS — North Shore Elder Services wants to give senior citizens the tools to prepare for their most important appointment, the doctor's......
The program started 15 months ago when North Shore Elder Services realized how many people in the community didn't understand what their doctors were telling them. The program has 21 volunteers, ranging from retired nurses and doctors to social workers and businesspeople.
Quinn said all of the volunteers have experience in assisting family members or friends at doctors' appointments.
"I think people will walk away feeling empowered and more comfortable talking with their doctors," she said. "It's very empowering to be active in your own health care."
