EPC Fact Sheets
Please Note: We have moved all of our patient education resources (and others!) to our new companion website at www.EngagedPatients.org. The new website is membership-based and it is free to join. The membership offers free access to all of our materials, including the comprehensive Empowered Patient Hospital Guide. This is to make it easier and more efficient for you to find the appropriate tools and to allow us to track the numbers of downloads so we can assess which resources are most helpful to our visitors.
Clicking on a link below will take you directly to that resource on the Engaged Patients website. Thank you!
