Inspirational Speaker & Author

MISSION STATEMENT

Empowering people to track their medical history, keep accurate
medication records and have vital health information readily available
for family members, doctor appointments, and emergency situations.

Gail Renderman’s Story…(See newspaper article on right)
As a patient with numerous medical conditions, including
Myasthenia Gravis, Mitochondrial Myopathy, Celiac Disease
and many drug allergies, I have learned the importance of
having a Health History Journal on hand to show medical
professionals. It has helped me correct medical errors and is a
quick reference for my family members, doctors, nurses,
technicians and emergency personnel. Being an advocate for
our own health care reduces medical mistakes and provides
vital health information when an emergency arises.

following tabbed sections for convenience of organizing
your medical information:

special communication picture pages in the event that
someone has a difficult time speaking, or communicating, with
others. This section includes: the Alphabet, Sign Language,

beverages, special needs pictures which make communicating

A section for note taking, appointment cards and a clear page
holder is located in the very back of the journal for added
convenience.

BE AN ADVOCATE!
As an advocate for your own health care it is critical to keep
good medical records in order to accomplish open
communications with medical personnel and family members.
Many medical errors come from patients not knowing what
medications they are on, what dosage the medications are,
what drug allergies they have, what former surgeries or
medical conditions they have had, what their family medical
history is, or who to contact in an emergency.
Medical errors are mistakes in health care that could have
been prevented. They can occur in hospitals, clinics, surgery
centers, doctors' offices, nursing homes, pharmacies, and
your home. Errors can involve medicines, surgery, diagnosis,
equipment, or lab reports. They are often caused by a lack of
good communication. Medical errors may result in injury or
death. You can help prevent medical errors by being a
well-informed and active partner in your own health care.
The best thing you can do to prevent medical errors is to be
involved in your health care. Learn and know about your
health problem, medicine, and treatment as best you can and
take part in making all decisions about your care. Show your
Health History & Medical Emergency Journal to everyone
who is involved in your health care. This includes your
doctors, other health professionals, family, and friends.

copies to sell at our office. I was especially intrigued with the communication pictures
section, which I felt would be a great help for patients in a hospital, nursing home or
Hospice."   ~Dr. Steven Meress - Fox Valley Wellness Center, Fond du Lac, WI

challenging to access." ~Dr. John Steiner, Aurora Health Care, Fond du Lac, WI

book will be very helpful for many individuals."~Dr. Richard Galow, Dentist, Fond du Lac, WI

an EMT and worked in the health profession for 20 years. This type of journal would be an
excellent tool for all individuals to have. It would cut down on the time it takes to look up
vital records and could save lives. It contains all the information that is needed in case of
medical emergencies. The Health History & Medical Emergency journal would make it
much easier to help and communicate with patients when time is critical."
