SAVE THE PATIENT hosts special community health show on CAN-TV

Celebrating its fifth year on CAN-TV, SAVE THE PATIENT is hosting a special community health show to reinforce the importance of positive, proactive and "preventative" interactions between patients and their health care resources—ranging from physicians to surgeons, nurses to advocates, pharmacists to educators, clinics to hospitals.

On Monday, April 25, 2011 at 6:00 p.m., Chicago Access Network (CAN-TV), Channel 21, will air a live call-in program, "Community Health," in which consumer-friendly health care tips, tools and resources will be reviewed and discussed interactively with television viewers.

Host Lenore Janecek, president and founder of SAVE THE PATIENT, will discuss the importance of being your own health care advocate as a means of protecting yourself and your loved ones from unnecessary medical errors.

Viewers are encouraged to join in the program, by calling-in their questions.  To access its website, go to www.savethepatient.org.
