4 Things Patients Can Do for 2024 Patients Rising Podcast

    • Medicine

This week, a Resource Coordinator and Patient Navigator with our Patient Helpline goes over the top four steps that patients and caregivers can take to make 2024 their smoothest and most organized healthcare year yet. From what to do in the months leading up to a visit to how to take control of your health on your own time, Levi Peterson shares everything patients and caregivers need to be prepared. 
Also, applications for Patients Rising’s Fly-In Scholarships for this year’s event open this Wednesday, January 17th.
Lastly, we discuss two major news stories from this past week including a report from HealthcareDive that HHS has named its first – “Chief Competition Officer” and a report from CNBC that Eli Lilly has a new website offering telehealth prescriptions and direct home delivery of certain drugs.
