My Plan

A personal integrative health plan to help you organize choices you have made related to all aspects of your healthcare

Once you’ve taken the first steps to gain control over your healthcare after your diagnosis, it is important to spend some time establishing goals for the road ahead. When you’ve determined these goals, the question becomes: how do you work towards them? At that point, mapping out a personal healthcare plan can be incredibly helpful.
