Consumers are often left in the dark about the record of who is treating us and if the drug, treatment, surgery or even the facility where all this occurs is even safe.

This program, designed by Consumer Reports experts, is meant to both inform the community about how to avoid medical harm, use CR’s well-regarded hospital ratings, and how to have respectful but transparent conversations with providers before, during and after treatment to avoid unnecessary and costly treatments and tests.

Topics covered:

• How to ask the right questions of your doctor or nurse
• How to avoid infections
• How to track your medications and keep your information as a patient
• And More!

All programs are subject to change.  If you require an auxiliary aid or accommodation due to a disability, please contact the library at least 7 days before the program date.  For a list of upcoming library events, visit test-library.ehawaii.gov/events
