Be MedWise All members Leader Lesson

For all those who could not make today's all member leader lesson, you missed a really good presentation by Dr. Margaret Harris. The focus of the lesson was on how to communicate with your doctor. I think the information was well received and we learned alot. Do wish more members could have been present. Thank you Lisa for setting up this informative lesson and I dare say Dr. Harris probably learned from us more about what concerns many patients. Valerie
