Advocating for Yourself in Medical Settings

Healthcare can be intimidating. Luckily, the Elliot VNA is coming to the Derry Public Library for an engaging and informative session on how to advocate for yourself!  

The Elliot speakers will go over practical tips and strategies to communicate effectively with your healthcare team, understand your rights, and confidently navigate medical appointments and decisions. Whether you’re managing chronic conditions, planning ahead, or supporting a loved one, you’ll walk away with tools to be your own best advocate within the healthcare system.
