Continuing its efforts to educate,
inform and empower the people of Chicago, SAVE THE PATIENT, a
not-for-profit patient- focused organization, is hosting its 30-minute live
call-in show on the Chicago Access Network (CAN-TV). The third installment
of "Community Health Hotline" will air Monday, July 31, 2006, at 6:00 PM on
CAN-TV, Channel 21.
Monday's program will feature a frank discussion on medication safety
from a pharmacist's perspective, featuring guest, Danny Pomorantz, R.Ph.
The goal of the series is to give everyday people the confidence to enact
their patient rights, so that they can effectively manage their families'
health encounters.
All the efforts of SAVE THE PATIENT promote positive and productive
interactions between patients and medical professionals by encouraging
individuals to know and implement their rights to ask questions, receive
understandable answers, and explore medical options. "SAVE THE PATIENT's
mission is to assist the public in becoming better health care consumers,"
noted President and Founder Lenore Janecek.
Viewers who wish to join discussions can call-in to pose questions or
share concerns. "This new televised platform gives Chicago's diverse
population a voice in matters affecting their use of health care,"
explained Janecek. "The open discussion format is designed to help mend the
disparity between the wealth of health care resources available and the
dearth of people who are actually aware of them." Ms. Janecek, a nationally
known health care expert and author, is the host of this groundbreaking
program.
