Learn to make the most from an appointment with the doctor with this presentation by the Activity Center on Thursday, Jan. 17, from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Community Center.

Doctors are busy and run very tight schedules. Since a patient may only have 15 minutes they need to learn to make the most of their time with the doctor. Be prepared for the visit. Clarify and raise concerns. Listen and ask questions. A person is their own best advocate.

Presenter Deborah Arconti has been a nurse for over 30 years and does community outreach for BrightStar Care which offers medical and private duty care in the home. Deborah is also a Home Detox Coach and a Reiki Master and teacher for more than 10 years.

Pre-registration is required. The program is free for 2019 Community Center members with a $5 fee for non-members. Contact the Fountain Hills Activity Center at 480-816-5226 to register.
