  • 1.  Educational Products for Patients

    Posted 06-07-2022 12:33
    Good morning everyone,

    I am looking to find a website or such, that I can download relevant up to date patient info to provide educational handouts to patients.  Items such as medical conditions and medications.

    Hi Elizabeth;
    Your question is a broad one! What is your patient population? What kind of conditions or medications? 

    The CDC, the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association have large libraries of patient-friendly materials. 

    https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/about/index.htm
    https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics
    https://www.diabetes.org/diabetes/type-2

    The Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association is another great resource for patient-friendly materials. https://pcna.net/
