Great tips, Jacki! Finding a doctor and keeping track of things is challenging enough for any of us; the challenge must be even greater for individuals and families who move frequently.

Other than finding you a new doctor, the Personal Medical Organizer can help in all those areas (and more)!

As a military family I have learned that it is VERY important to take control over your own health care records!

We move SO often and it is difficult to find a family doctor anywhere these days. Keeping track of your own records, and knowing at which clinic you had which treatment and when is essential in a doctor’s diagnosis and treatment.

Also, if you are responsible for someone else such as an aging parent or even have the responsibility of being someones trustee in their living will, you need to know where those medical records are and how to access them.

Did you know that children’s immunization schedules are different from province to province? Before you move check your children’s health records and see if they need to be immunized in the new province or they already have been in the old province.
